Wisconsin’s Tree Planting Pledge is Growing Strong
Wisconsin made a bold commitment to plant 75 million trees, including 1 million trees in urban areas, and conserve 125,000 acres of forestland by 2030.

And the products we create from tree harvests connect industries and labor far outside forestry.
