Dave Pease gave a report on the Bayfield County Forest Plan meeting that was held on January 19, 2005 at Barnes.

Some concerns from the audience were: Road access to the logging industry; trail access by ATV and snowmobiles; usage by dog sledders. The county forests are currently being harvested at the rate of 60%. That may increase to 70%.
