Bio-massed energy plant coming to Wood County?

More than a year after it was shut down, the Domtar paper mill in Port Edwards continues to attract attention from those who want to use the site. After issuing a reuse strategy in April that details proposed plans for the facility should the Canadian-based papermaker decide to sell it, village officials and local economic development leaders began receiving more inquiries about the property.

Wood County Wisconsin Outdoor Report as of September 17, 2009

Early season Canada goose hunters had fair success over harvested fields. Dove hunters are having limited success on the public hunting grounds as the sunflower plots are still green. Bear season reports indicate bait station visits are becoming less predictable with all of the available natural foods. Blackberries and mushrooms are still abundant, acorns are beginning to drop and the cherry trees are full.
With the early opening to the archery season, some bucks will still be in velvet antlers. These bucks are legal game, but hunters need an additional free tag to keep the velvet antlers. Contact the local conservation warden to get the tag.
