Description: <div style="text-align:Left;"><p><b>DEFINITION</b>:</p><p>This is the County Forests layer dissolved by county from a stand (or forest management) layer used in the Wisconsin Forest Inventory & Reporting System (WisFIRS) and intended for cartographic representation of county forests in Wisconsin.</p><p>"County forests" include all county lands entered and participating under ch. 77 on October 2, 1963, and all county lands designated as county forests by the county board or the forestry committee and entered under the county forest law and designated as "county forest lands" or "county special use lands" as hereinafter provided.<br /></p><p><b>GEOGRAPHIC EXTENT</b>:<br /></p><p>Statewide (Only 30 counties that have County Forest Lands).</p><p><b>SOURCE SCALE</b>:<br /></p><p>Varied</p><p><b>PURPOSE/BACKGROUND</b>:<br /></p><p>The purpose of county forests is to provide a permanent program of county forests and to enable and encourage the planned development and management of the county forests for optimum production of forest products together with recreational opportunities, wildlife, watershed protection and stabilization of stream flow, giving full recognition to the concept of multiple-use to assure maximum public benefits; to protect the public rights, interests and investments in such lands; and to compensate the counties for the public uses, benefits and privileges these lands provide; all in a manner which will provide a reasonable revenue to the towns in which such lands lie. This layer was created to provide a more accurate representation of county forests beyond simply identifying PLSS quarter-quarter sections containing County Forests. The “PLSS method” of representation may overlap private or other ownership types.</p><p>This GIS layer was created by dissolving managed stand information from the WisFIRS Public Lands Management application. Stands coded as private (998 = inholding) or non-DNR (999, 9999 = non-DNR, Fed, etc.) were removed from the dissolve. The layer used to create this data is continually edited. </p><p><b>CONTACT PERSON(S)</b>:<br /></p><p>GIS contact Laura Waddle, DNR-IT, (608) 320-4648, <a href="mailto:Laura.Waddle@Wisconsin.gov" target="_blank">Laura.Waddle@Wisconsin.gov</a></p><p>Program contact Doug Brown, Forestry Field Operations, (715) 966-0157, <a href="mailto:Douglas.Brown@wisconsin.gov" target="_blank">Douglas.Brown@wisconsin.gov</a></p><p><b>UPDATE FREQUENCY</b>:<br /></p><p>Annual.

The majority of treatments completed in the field have been entered into WisFIRS; however, there are some treatments that have not been recorded as completed in WisFIRS - particularly those implemented prior to October 2014. Additionally, not all treatments that have been completed in WisFIRS as tabular records of completed treatments have been mapped spatially in the WisFIRS GIS application – particularly those implemented prior to October 2014. Overall, most completed treatments have been recorded and mapped, but it is important to recognize that there are treatments that have not been accounted for in WisFIRS.</p><p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:11pt;">Neither the Department of Natural Resources nor any of its employees shall be held liable for any improper or incorrect use of the information described and/or contained herein and assumes no responsibility for anyone's use of the information.</span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:11pt;">Furthermore, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding accuracy, adequacy, completeness, legality, reliability or usefulness of any information.
