ARBOR VITAE - The Northern Highland American Legion State Forest in northern Wisconsin makes about $4 million every year from timber harvest on its lands.
A relatively small amount of land is left completely untouched. But more than 70 percent of forest land is eligible for harvest. Many of the 230,000 acres of state forest are easy to access for loggers.
"The Northern Highland, being sandy and gravelly, can accommodate logging year-round, almost. It's really good ground to work in," said Northern Highland American Legion State Forest forestry team supervisor Jeff Olsen on a field trip this month.
