Carbon credits earning money for northern Wisconsin landowners
Many northern Wisconsin woodland owners may now enroll in a new program where they will get paid – not for their wood, but for the carbon their trees are storing.
The new program sponsored by the American Forest Foundation’s (AFF) Family Forest Carbon Program (FFCP), in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, opened this spring in Ashland, Iron, and Vilas counties, and will open in another 27 northern counties in July. The program also is open in Minnesota and Michigan.

Anglers excited as two-line fishing begins on some river segments July 1 in Minnesota
It’s a new era for Minnesota River anglers.
Beginning July 1, anglers may legally use two lines during the open-water season while fishing the Minnesota River downstream of the Granite Falls dam to Pool 2 on the Mississippi River.
During the last legislative session, Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation that opens roughly 250 miles of the Minnesota River to two-line fishing, a move supported by the Minnesota DNR and hailed by anglers across the watershed known for its catfish and walleyes.

Here’s how to catch fish using Santee Cooper Rigs
Credit for the Santee Cooper Rig is given to K.C. Nelms, an angler from northeast Georgia. He often fished the Santee Cooper Lakes region of South Carolina in the 1980s. At first, I had no interest in trying it. I felt my way of rigging for catfish was close enough to be just as effective.
My opinion changed when the blue catfish program began in Ohio a little over 10 years ago.
