John Muir's home, Marquette County Wisconsin, teaming with Wildlife and Forests 

  John Muir may be famous for the things he did out west, but this little county in Central Wisconsin is the bit of Nature's beauty that inspired him.

His boyhood home is now a park where you can go to see the kind of forest lands that inspired him.

It is not just a great place to raise famous people, but it it also a great place to raise Pines and those Oaks that our Wildlife love so much.

  Our clients at Woodland Management Service own a significant amount o land here with Quality Pines for great income and Oaks which are not much for quality timber but they do produce some fantastic wildlife habitat that attracts plentiful deer and turkeys.

Marquette County is home to 130 thousand acres of forest land. 

  Most of this forest land is poor quality Oak and High Quality Pine with 64 thousand acres of Oak forests which provide premium deer and turkey habitat and another 35 thousand acres of quality Spruce, and Red, White and Jack Pine forests which provide good winter habitat for the wildlife and good income for the forest landowners.marking timber

These forests are not only good for producing income for our clients and great habitat for Deer and Turkeys, but it also provides good habitat for many other wild animals like Bear, Wolves, Grouse, and more.

  If you are interested in purchasing land in Marquette County or if you already own some and would like to learn more about how to improve this land, give me a call, our Foresters and Wildlife Specialists can help.

Marquette County Wisconsin is truly a beautiful piece of nearly untouched land. Your photos and words do make this seem very inviting Bob. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with me the concrete jungle lad.

Bob every time you write and mention the name of John Muir, I think of my father, he loved John Muir and when he came visiting he made us take him to Muir Woods in  northern California....Endre

Good morning Bob. The name John Muir is not familiar to me, but you have inspired me to check out the name. Thank you for today's lesson.

Bob,

 I was going to ask if he was the same one as the Muir Woods in California but I think you answered my question. I hope you have had a great start to your year!

What a great and interesting post, Bob....and I always thought that oak was the best wood for income and pines for habitat.....learned something new today.  I can go home now..except I am already here! LOL!
