DNR program encourages landowners to manage habitat

RHINELANDER - Some landowners don't want to make changes to their land because they worry those changes will hurt wildlife. But biologists say the opposite is true.

The Wisconsin Young Forest Partnership's goal is to help landowners improve young forest habitat on their properties.

"The basic idea is if people buy land and they are just owning it [and] just using it, they're not managing it, and wildlife doesn't benefit," says Wildlife Biologist Jeremy Holtz. "It's really all about trying to get the land into management to benefit wildlife. When wildlife benefits, people benefit."
