The Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association (WWOA) is a nonprofit educational association for Wisconsin’s private woodland owners. Since 1979, WWOA has been sharing its passion for sustainable private woodland management with woodland owners.  WWOA provides networking opportunities for like-minded woodland owners and opportunities to meet natural resource professionals who can assist you in caring for your woodlands.

It offers free services that connect landowners to trusted sources of information, property visits, technical and financial assistance, and events and workshops.

The DNR forest health team works to prevent, detect, and control Wisconsin’s forest pests, particularly invasive plants, insects, and diseases that jeopardize trees and ecosystems. Through research, forest management guidance, and education and outreach efforts, forest stability and sustainability is established and enriched.
