On April 14th, Governor Walker is expected to sign SB 434, which would provide significant benefits to landowners enrolled in the Managed Forest Law, at logging equipment manufacturer Ponsse North America Inc,

WAFO has asked that he sign the bill as passed by both houses of legislature.

We have learned that there have been some requests that the Governor veto the leasing ban provision and the language which makes the MFL a contract.  WE NEED TO LET HIM KNOW THESE ARE KEY PROVISIONS OF THIS BILL.  Please contact Governor Walker at (608) 266-1212, or email him by going to http://walker.wi.gov/contact-us.  Let him know you support SB 434, Managed Forest Law changes.

See WAFO’s Gov. Walker Talking Points on why rescinding the leasing ban is critical.
