The Wisconsin Tree Farm movement got its start in the state four years ago.

It is sponsored nationally by American Forest Products Industries Inc. and is administered locally by Wisconsin Forest Industries with the cooperation of the forestry divisions of the Wisconsin Conservation Department and other organizations and individuals interested in the fullest development of Wisconsin forest resources. A Tree Farm is an area of privately-owned, taxpaying land dedicated to continuing growth of forest crops for man's use. The words "Tree Farm" mean the owner has received recognition for having demonstrated an outstanding ability in managing his woodlands. The basic principles for Tree Farm certification include: tl) protect woods from fire, insects, disease and grazing; (2) harvest the trees when they are ready and take the necessary steps to insure continuing crops; and (3) plant trees on idle acres.

Each Tree Farmer receives a certificate and a large green and white Tree Farm sign. These signify that he is managing his woodlands in the best interests of the, community and country by growing repeated crops of timber for use. Indirect Benefits. There are indirect benefits jobs for workers and pay millions Wisconsin forest industries provide of dollars to landowners for raw materials; the taxes woodland owners and wood-processing companies pay each year make a substantial contribution to the support of local and state governments; and every Tree Farm makes Wisconsin a more prosperous state by assuring a perpetual supply of wood for industry mills and plants nnd by sustaining, a high standard of living for Wisconsin citizens.
