Pittsville Comprehensive Plan 2027
The City of Pittsville is updating their Comprehensive Plan from the fall of 2026 through 2027. The City’s Plan Commission is overseeing this plan update.
Follow the City of Pittsville’s Plan Commission here (agendas & minutes).
A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to physical, social, and economic development. It provides a rational basis for local land use decisions with a 20-year vision for future planning and community decisions. The Wisconsin Comprehensive Planning Law (s. 66.1001 Wis. Stats.) requires public participation at the local level in deciding a collective vision for the community’s future, which is outlined in this Plan’s goals, objectives, policies, and Future Land Use map. Comprehensive plans must be updated no less than every 10 years.
At the end of most chapters is first, a list of programs that a community may use to implement that chapter, followed by a set of goals, objectives, and policies related to that chapter. The goals, objectives, and policies were initially created by the City’s Plan Commission during the planning process, and are used to guide future actions of the City over the planning period. Changes to these goals, objectives, and policies may be made through the amendment process for this plan.

ReLeaf Cedar Rapids, Iowa & WDNR Urban Tree Planting Resources
ReLeaf Cedar Rapids was created to restore the city’s urban tree canopy after a devastating derecho storm destroyed nearly two-thirds of its trees on August 10, 2020.
Many of ReLeaf’s urban reforestation chapters can apply to other communities that have been hit by a tornado.
Use the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map Online Viewer to see what zone your community lies in to determine if a tree will grow in your community. HOW TO APPLY A USDA Zone: For example, Wausau WI is in Zone 5a, but is surrounded by Zone 4b. A person is Wausau should choose a tree that can grow in at least a Zone 4 or lower to accommodate a long stretch of freezing temperatures without snow, and on the warm side, that same Wausau person should pick Zone 6. Therefore, a Wausau person should choose trees that can grow in at least Zones 4 to 6. A tree that can grow in Zones 2 to 8 would also thrive in Wausau.

Forest County Land and Water Resource Management Plan 2027-2036
The Forest County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is a 10-year plan (2027-2036) that ensures county eligibility for annual state money to partially fund county conservation staff and county administered cost-share grants that implement soil and water improvement projects.
The purpose of a county Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is to conserve long-term soil productivity, protect the quality of related natural resources, enhance water quality, and focus on severe soil erosion problems.
At the root of the county LWRM plan concept is the cooperation of all agencies and groups within the county that have a role in land and water resource management. This plan focuses on how a county’s Land and Water Conservation Department will work with the other agencies to implement agricultural performance standards (NR 151/ATCP 50), as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns.
Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plans provide counties an opportunity to explain how they will meet the state performance standards and prohibitions (NR 151 and ATCP 50) to reduce runoff and protect water quality, as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns. The LWRM Plan provides the counties with the ability to develop local strategies to address the concerns; budget the limited staff and cost share dollars toward these concerns; provide for integration of programs and funding from all sources; and develop a variety of implementation tools.
