Wisconsin's total land area is 34.7 million acres.
Most forested land is in the northern part of the state.
Many southern Wisconsin forests were cleared for agriculture by the late 1800's. Forests in the north were heavily cut for timber by the early 1900's. Therefore, almost all the mature trees you see today are less than 125 years old. Thousands of acres of pine were planted across the state in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Deforestation is a big concern.
