School District of Cadott Community
| The 160 acre school forest, located in the Town of Anson, Chippewa County, was donated to the School District of Cadott Community in 1974. Selective timber harvesting began in 1993 and by the end of the 1994-95 school year, the total timber harvesting revenues from 1993-95 totaled $17,198.48. This money was reserved for development of the school forest. | |
| Two gifts totaling $100,000 were received in the 1994-95 school year for school forest improvements, environmental education materials and items and materials the school board felt would enhance the use of the school forest by the school and the community. |
|
| During the summer of 1995, an access road crossing Dutch creek was constructed along with the clearing of the building site and initial trail development. The spring and summer of 1996 saw the completion of a 44 x 76 foot environmental education building along with further trail development. The building includes a classroom area, serving kitchen, washrooms, educational office/storage, general storage and a coat room. | |
| During the summer of 2000, the army reserve completed the installation of a bridge crossing Drywood Creek allowing access to the remaining 80 acres of land. Currently, work is being done to develop trails on that 80 acres. The army reserves came back to the school forest during the summer of 2001 and completed the first phase of covering the bridge that they had previously installed. |
