Mission Statement

​

 It is the mission of the Forestry and Parks Department to establish, develop, protect, maintain, and manage county parks, campgrounds, dams, forests, fairgrounds, ski areas, and trail systems. We strive to provide dependable multi-season recreational opportunities for the public, while also providing a sustained yield of forest products and associated amenities. 

The main office is located in the courthouse, while most workers report to our maintenance shop located on County Highway B in Hewett Township. The department employs 13 full time workers and as many as 30 seasonal workers.
