Timber Harvest Contracts It is very important that you and your logging contractor have a written and signed contract to guide the harvesting process before starting any harvesting. For more information on writing contracts for timber sales please visit http://dnr.wi.gov and search 'Forest Landowner'. Non-Timber Forest Products You may harvest non-timber products, including but not limited to mushrooms, berries, ferns, evergreen boughs, cones, nuts, seeds, maple sap, bark, twigs, moss, and edible and/or medicinal plants. Wisconsin statutes may regulate some of these non-timber products, such as ginseng. Others might be threatened or endangered species, and protected by law. Follow all applicable laws when harvesting non-timber products. You must take care to prevent over-harvesting and reducing biological diversity and ecosystem functions. For additional information on how harvesting of non-timber forest products will affect management of your forestland please contact your local WDNR Forester using the Forestry Assistance Locator; go to http://dnr.wi.gov and search 'Forest Landowner'. Forest Certification Lands entered into the MFL program are automatically included in the MFL Group Certification unless landowners choose not to be certified. The MFL program is certified under the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). As more and more wood-using industries and consumers demand proof they are buying wood from sustainably managed woodlands, MFL landowners benefit from this certification. Third party certification is beneficial in many ways, some of which are the ability to sell to the certified marketplace; future ability to participate in carbon markets; and an opportunity to educate the public about the importance of well- managed private forests. Specific group member duties include:
