NR 46.17(1)(a)(a) A minimum of 80% of an entire managed forest land parcel shall be capable of producing merchantable timber as defined in s. NR 46.15 (2). NR 46.17(1)(b)(b) No more than 20% of a managed forest land parcel may consist of land unsuitable for producing merchantable timber as provided in s. 77.82 (1) (b) 1., Stats., or non-productive land as defined in s. NR 46.15 (21m) or a combination of those types of land. NR 46.17(1)(b)1.1. For purposes of this determination, for lands designated as managed forest lands prior to January 1, 2022, the department shall consider only contiguous areas of non-productive land that comprise 2 or more acres. NR 46.17(1)(b)2.2. For purposes of this determination, for lands designated as managed forest lands on or after January 1, 2022, the department shall consider only contiguous areas of non-productive land that comprise 1 or more acres. NR 46.17(1)(c)1.1. If the portion of land considered capable of producing merchantable timber in par. (a) does not meet density requirements established in subd. 2., it may be designated as managed forest land if the department determines that, within a reasonable timeframe, stocking levels can be increased to be consistent with density requirements and mandatory practices needed to achieve density standards are established in the management plan. NR 46.17(1)(c)2.2. Density standards established in the table below do not address other stand-level regeneration guidelines, such as adequate levels of pre-harvest and post-harvest advanced regeneration or percent stocking to ensure continued stand productivity. On a site-by-site basis, site conditions, species, and other regeneration guidelines specific to Wisconsin cover types may be evaluated to determine an alternative density standard.
