The department shall assign to each management area on a property the land management classification described in s. NR 44.06 that most accurately describes the management prescribed for the area by the master plan, while being consistent with the standards of the classification. For those land management classifications that also provide for recreational use setting subclassifications, which are described in s.

The assigned classifications and subclassifications shall be consistent with the purposes of the property as designated by statute or rule. NR 44.05(3)(3) Management activities within any land management classification may provide benefits other then those directly sought by the management objective.

NR 44.05(4)(4) Management activities not specifically enumerated in ss. NR 44.06 and 44.07 may be authorized by the master plan if they are compatible with the classification and subclassification of the affected area. NR 44.05 HistoryHistory: Cr.
