Protecting Working Forests Through Local Public Policy Are you concerned about forest fragmentation? Loss of wildlife habitat? User conflicts on recreational land? Trouble with neighbors when you harvest? These issues are directly impacted by local community and county land use practices and policies. This session will help private land owners understand how community land use decisions affect woodlands, learn about various tools and policies that could be enacted at the local level and how they as private land owners can work toward protecting their woodlands. A resource kit will be provided that attendees can use to assist them in improving their community and county policies and plans. Linda Stoll lives in Menasha , WI and holds an academic staff position at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point as an outreach specialist in the Center for Land Use Education.
