The state of Wisconsin will spend four-point-three-million dollars to buy land in Iron County under the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship program.
Most of the 14-thousand acres contain productive forest and there are 17 miles of streams and lake frontage.
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee approved the purchase Tuesday. It is one of the largest in the 30-year history of the stewardship program and it protects that land from development.
