Stats. ) Findings of Fact THE DEPARTMENT FINDS: 1. That Bayfield County has filed an application dated December 1, 1970, to withdraw the following described lands from entry under the County Forest Law s. 28.11, Wis. Stats: Township 49 North, Range 7 West Section 10 - Part of the NE% of NE% consisting of approximately 9 acres and located within the enclosed portion of a fence known as the "Bratley Fur Farm Fence,", Town of Clover, Bayfield County. 2. That the Department of Natural Resources has conducted an investigation in the matter of said application and has reviewed the results of the hearing held in Washburn on September 1, 1971. 3. That the proposed use for the subject lands is a game farm. 4. That no adequate plan or timetable for development of the subject lands, demonstrates the development of a land use that will provide a foreseeable economic .or recreational benefit to the people of the county or the state. 5. That the inclusion of the subject lands in the proposed game farm is not critical to financial success of that operation. 6. That the East Branch of the Cranberry River is navigable. 7. That the fence maintained across the'East Branch of the Cranberry River on the subject lands is detrimental to navigation and fish life. 8. That the springs on the subject lands are critical to maintenance of the water quality of the East Branch of the Cranberry River. 9. That the subject lands are presently being managed for forestry purposes. Conclusions of Law 1. That the department in reviewing an application for withdrawal oflands from the county forest program must consider and weigh the purposes of the county forest program as outlined in s. 28.11 (1), Wis. Stats. 2. That in addition, s.28.11 requires the department to consider the benefits of the proposed use of the subject land to the people of -the state as well as the county in which it is located. 3. That the department finds that benefits of continued entry outweigh those of withdrawal of the subject lands. Order THE DEPARTMENT, THEREFORE, ORDERS: It is therefore ordered that the subject application for withdrawal be denied. Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 13th day of April, 1972.

All projects submitted to the Division of Highway Safety Coordination must be sponsored by some government unit. The projects mainly consist of obtaining federal funds for purchasing ambulances, communications equipment for ambulances, etc. The funding of these projects is always 50% and is done on a reimbursement basis through the Division of Highway Safety Coordination Office in Madison, Wisconsin. This means that the sponsoring government unit must send copies of paid bills to the Division of Highway Safety Coordination in Madison and wait about 6 weeks for the 50/ reimbursement. It would be a great deal easier if Bayfield County could be listed on the applications that I send in as "Sponsoring Government Unit". There would be no actual Bayfield County expenditures in that the Townships, Cities, and Villages who are requesting the funds would pay the cost of their projects to the county and would re- ceive 50/ reimbursement as soon as the county received.the money back from the State of Wisconsin. April 18_,_ 1972 _ _ I am presently working on a radio communications project ,;Por the Bayfield County Memorial Hospital to enable the hospital to have direct communications with ambulances enroute to the,hospitals in and around Bayfield County. This project is fundable on a 50% basis, however, must have a government unit to sponsor the project. Again, there would be no actual expenditure by Bayfield County. Would you kindly discuss this matter with -the Board of Supervisors and request that they act as the "Sponsoring Government Unit" on these projects? I assure you that each project under this program is a major step in providing Bayfield County with an excellent highway safety program. Very truly yours,. R. A.

The following report from William Hepner, Bayfield County Forest Administrator, was brought to the attention of the County Board. (The report was not read as each member had previously received a copy.): No. 22 On September 27, 1971, the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors agreed to the need of a land use study. This study was to be compiled by the Bayfield County Forestry Department. First of all we find three different types of land ownership by Bayfield County. Found are the Tax Delinquent Lands, County Park Lands and County Forest Lands. Tax delinquent lands are segregated into two groups.', The first is available for sale upon request and the second, approximately 6,000 acres, is known as Tax Title County Forest Land. These lands are withheld from sale by County Board.action. Tax Title County Forest Land should not be confused with County Forest Lands. April 18, 1972 I will attempt to acquaint you with Tax Title Lands, County Park Land and County Forest Lands, and in that order. I do not have the answers to all the problems that become evident. Perhaps to understand the problem is the first step,in arriving' at the proper solution. P-OUNTY PARK LANDS Bayfield County has approximately 1,300 acres of land, withheld from sale, for the purpose of parks. These lands are adjacent to rivers, streams or lakes. While only a,s*Mall acreage is actually being used as a park, the remainder is being held for future park purposes. These lands are located on Lake Superior, -Eau Claire chain, AtiYins, Bismark, Topside, and the rivers Sioux, Cranberry, White, Fish, Marengo, Fourmile. The need for retaining these lands in their present status is quite evident. Long range planning, adapted to anticipated need, should be considered for these lands. The increase in tourism in the past few years have shown the present parks to be lacking. The construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of County Parks cost money. If Bayfield County desires to draw tourists into the area, they have to see that facilities are available to accommodate these people. County Parks are used by locals as well as outsiders and as the number of no -trespass signs in- crease, the use of County Parks will increase. TAX TITLE LANDS Bayfield County holds tax deeds on lands in excess of 25,000 acres. The heaviest concentration is located in the Townships of Orienta and Grand View. In -the past, tax delinquent land sales have been handled on a request basis. When an interested person makes a request for a description it is appraised and advertised for sale. This procedure has resulted in almost a 100/ sale of all lands advertised. If there is now a need for additional lands, perhaps the sale of tax delinquent lands should be accelerated. The Executive Committee, in charge of land sales, could determine areas of need and the manner in which the lands could be disposed of. In the Townships of Orienta.and Clover there is approximately 6,000 acres consisting of County Forest Units 1-and 2. This is tax delinquent lands which' have been withheld from sale by Bayfield Countygaction in 1965. Since this action, some timber has been cut off these lands. The lack of funds have prevented any intensive forest management and as a result the land remains about the same as it was. Perhaps a second look should now be given these lands and if desirable, made available for sale to private individuals. With the advent of the National Lakeshore Park, Bayfield County finds itself with approximately 1,000 acres of tax delinquent land within the proposed park boundaries. Sand Island has over 700 acres of tax title land, some of which is very desirable shore line property. Timber values on the islands are low compared to the mainland. The highest use of these lands should be considered. A meeting with the National Lakeshore Park planners seems to be in order. April 18, 1972 In the Townships of Mason and Grand View lies the Bibon Marsh. Bayfield County colds tax deeds on approximately 6,500 acres within this watershed. The Department )f Natural Resources has prepared a resource inventory of the area and it appears that a iildlife area is feasible., The Bayfield County Board of Supervisors along with the local [overnments involved should get together and determine the merits of the proposal. The )otential of this area, from a recreational viewpoint cannot be minimized. The remaining tax delinquent lands are scattered throughout Bayfield County. 'ery little, if any, of this land is desirable for entry under County Forest Lands. lerhaps the occasional forty could be utilized for trading purposes for better County 'orest blocking but by and large this would be the exception rather than the rule. In the past few years the sale of and the price received for tax.delinquent lands been very good. The economic picture of the State and Nation can change and might everse this trend. It should be the long range benefits received rather than the short -ange, "Boom and Bust" proposition that.should be considered. BAYFIELD COUNTY FOREST-' 2000 AD In the month of April, 2000 AD, Bayfield County Forest will be observing its 68th ar of existence. Let us.go'back to the year­1932 and abserve the changes that have aken place since the first entries were made. The picture in Northern Wisconsin was one of devastation and depression. Few irgin stands of timber were left. The expected boom in conversion of timbered lands ver to agriculture lands was as a rule= a bust. Much of the land proved to be too stony r too sandy to permit reasonably profitable cultivation. Thousands of acres of land ecame tax delinquent and, as the tax base narrowed, utter chaos resulted in many Town - hips. In April, 1932, 52,832.28 acres of land were entered as Bayfield County Forest Crop ands. The primary purpose of County Forest Crop Lands were "to encourage a policy of reserving from destruction er premature cutting the remaining forest growth in the ounty, and of reproducing and growing for the future adequate crops of forest products n lands not more useful for other purposes". Also high on the list of priorities was need -to create a favorable situation in which the general public could utilize the ands for hunting, fishing and other recreational usages. It was hopeful that all this ould be done and still provide the County and State with a financial return on their nvestment. Bayfield County and the State of Wisconsin, as partners in the contract, began to plement plans for fire protection, forest inventory, insect and disease control,pa_rk d recreational planning, fish and wildlife management along with active timber and eforestration programs. The State of Wisconsin, through the Conservation Department, as able to provide the technical assistance along with the necessary financial help ssential in the success of the program. Perhaps it could be said at this time that, the babe was born,". By the year 1940 Bayfield County had entered 124,283.50 acres of land under the ounty Forest Crop Law. Even at this early age it must have shown evidence of the tential value to the two partners. Wise land use by the early fathers began to show b83 April 18, 1972 promise of a perpetual harvest. The hot fires of the "'thirties" had been cooled and the "barrens" had one-e again been turned green. Forest un.its'�l, 2, 3, 4, 5 began to take definite form and body. The war wears of the forties prevented the maximum cultivation needed but it did provide the time necessary to contemplate and plan future programs. In the fifties intensive planting programs were implemented. Many acres of land, once termed worthless, were converted into living forests of Norway Pine, White Pine, Jack Pine and White Spruce. The backwoods was no longer considered a drain on the economy of the County and State but rather a source of economic stability for the wood using industries. The"woods" once again began to pay its own way, in financial as well as intangible values. The growth of the recreational establishments would not have been possible without the large acreage of public lands available to the public. Even at this early age numerous "No Trespass" signs were seen as private,.property owners began to exercise their right to post their lands. In the sixties Bayfield County Forest lands amounted to 162,624 acres. The first sounds were heard that possibly it was a mistake to enter land under the Forest Crop Law. The population explosion was beginning to be felt in northern Wisconsin. The increased need for residential, industrial and even agricultural expansion was noted. This need must have been anticipated because there were provisions in the Forest Crop Law providing for the withdrawal of lands when necessary for a higher use. It was in this decade that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors began to feel the need for a strong zoning ordinance. The need for the establishment of boundaries for residential, industrial, agricultural., recreational and forestry purposes became evident. Many hours and numerous meetings were necessary to form the foundation of a workable zoning ordinance. It was quite evident that, while a strong zoning ordinance was necessary, it would have to be flexible to meet the changing times. Environmental protection became the password of the day. In 1965 the first "Ten Year Comprehensive Plan" was compiled for the Bayfield County Forest. In it, definite .goals were set pertaining to all aspects of forest management. Some of the projections and proposals must have caused an arched eye- brow or at least a low chuckle. Could this be possible. "Worthless lands" bringing in $100,000.00 in timber sale receipts by 1973. It should be noted here that in the fiscal year of 1971 County Forest timber sales amounted to $97,552.04. The once low- ly "popple" has become fashionable. Peoplel,even started to call it aspen. Pine plantations were receiving their first cut and the dollar value, on the stump, became evident. .In the early seventies things were looking good. Timber sales were strong. County Forest management practices were exceeding predicted goals. True, inflationary forces had jacked up the prices on stumpage but cut products in 1971 amounted to 35,440 cords of pulpwood. To easier visualize this, imagine a pile of wood sixteen feet high, eight feet wide and six and one-half miles long. This was the pulpwood cut on Bayfield County Forest Lands in 1971. Log scales in 1971 amounted to 264,070 log feet. This would provide enough lumber to construct twenty-two average three bedroom homes. 5B4 - - April _18, _1972 This brings us to the present day. What has been said so far is a pure case of facts. To go on further we can only predict or anticipate. The future will be governed by actions of the Bayfield County Forestry Committee, Bayfield County Board of Super- visors and the State of Wisconsin. What will be needed to continue, or even accelerate, the many benefits to the citizens of Bayfield County and the State of Wisconsin as.a result of the County Forest Program? First of all the need for additional acres under County Forest Lands iS.. not evident. A better course of action would be to consolidate or improve the blocking on the existing County Forest units. This could be done by trading, or outright pur- chase. In certain fringe areas, where it is obvious the land has a --higher use, it should be withdrawn from County Forest ownership as the need arises. The funds from the resulting sale of these lands would be the means of acquiring isolated lands inside our present blocking. These lands are available from time to time but funds for the purchase of the desired lands have been non-exi,stant. There is a need to reaffirm the physical boundaries of our several forest units. It is inconceivable to attempt to manage forestry lands which may, at a future date, be withdrawn for other uses. A good forest is the result of many years of planning and cultivation. Those areas, where continued entry does not complement our County Forest, should be examined. When a higher use becomes evident they should be withdrawn. Every effort to dissect the remaining County Forest Units should be strongly resisted. The Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance may, in the long run, be the salvation of any desirable features in Bayfield County. While no,one can deny the need for residential, agricultural, or industrial expansion, it must be done in a regulated and well governed manner. The environmental impact must be considered prior to the rezoning of any large tract of land. The zoning of Bayfield County should not and cannot be under- estimated .for our own well being. The Bayfield County Forestry Committee is charged with setting the policy of the Forestry Department. In the past the caliber of this committee has been excellent judging from its actions. In the future it is hoped that the Forestry Committee continues to take an active part in the management of County Forest Lands. The input of each individual member can be measured by the improvement and progress achieved in our County Forests. The State of Wisconsin, Department of Natural Resources, is the other partner in the management of our County Forests. The benefits of the technical and financial assistance rendered by this partner have been-ainstrumental in the success of the County Forest Program. It is hope,, that the close support received in the past will be continued. The many days of personal.effort expended by these competent individuals is now acknowledged and will continue to be recognized in the future. Last, but not least, we get down to the Forestry Department. In the past this department has been operated by very competent personnel. People like the late George Leino cannot be replaced. They can only be followed by others who attempt to follow in his footsteps. Every effort should be made to retain the high quality personnel in this department. When problems occur, the input of all parties involved can only result in the proper solution of the matter. As to the celebration in April, 2000 A.D., many of us will not be in attendance. The actions taken by us, prior to.that date', will determine whether it will be a happy occasion or the holding of a wake bemoaning what could have been. What will it be? } April 18, 1972 a` k Moved by Moniza, seconded by Kyle to receive the Land Use Study made by the Forestry Department. Motion carried. No. 22A Moved by Suomala, seconded by W.
