Wilson promoted to general manager of Plum Creek’s newly created Lake States region
Plum Creek Timber Company (NYSE: PCL) today announced that Lynn Wilson has been promoted to general manager of the Lake States Region. Previously, Wilson served as Plum Creek’s Wisconsin senior resource manager.
Wilson has 20 years of forestry and management experience. She joined Plum Creek in 1998 and in her eight years with the company, she has served as a company logging superintendent, log merchandising superintendent, resource manager, senior resource manager and now general manager.
“Lynn is truly an asset to Plum Creek, and we are pleased to have her on board as general manager,” said Plum Creek Executive Vice President Leonard Kosar. “She has been the driving force for our efforts in Wisconsin, while championing team-building and leadership development. We are confident that she will continue to help Plum Creek succeed as the general manager of our newly created Lake States Region.”
The Lake States region was created because Michigan and Wisconsin have common markets, shared customer base and other similarities, and the company saw an opportunity to coordinate operations in these two states. Wilson’s office will remain in Tomahawk, and her duties as general manager will include overseeing operations of Plum Creek’s Wisconsin and Michigan land, which totals more than 1 million acres.
Wilson graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in forest management, and she also graduated cum laude with a Master of Business Administration from Thomas College. Wilson is on the board of directors for Lake States Lumber Association (LSLA), and is also a member of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) Forestry Best Management Practices Advisory Committee, as a representative of the LSLA. She is also a member of the Society of American Foresters, the Forest Resource Association - Lake States Technical Division Policy Committee and the Wisconsin Paper Council Forest Practices Committee.

No charges for use of national forest on Sept. 30
In honor of National Public Lands Day the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, along with all National Forests, will be providing a fee free day on Sat. Sept. 30. Fees will be waived for all recreation areas that normally charge a day use fee. Camping fees will continue to be in effect on that day. On National Public Lands Day, the public is encouraged to visit the Forest and learn about their public natural resource treasures. “We hope people will come out and enjoy their public lands and all the recreational opportunities available on the Forest. The outstanding fall colors and crisp fall weather will add to the northwoods experience.” states Acting Forest Supervisor Connie Chaney. One of the events that will take place on the Chequamegon-Nicolet NF is the commemoration of the historic Fifield Fire Lookout Tower. Forest Service and the Fifield Community Action Plan Committee will host a celebration scheduled from 10 a.m. until noon. Anyone who wishes to participate should meet at the Wintergreen Trail parking area, located near the tower on the north side of State Highway 70, five miles east of the State Highway 13 intersection. Also, on Sept. 30, the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Ctr. near Ashland will be hosting the Heritage Folk Fest. The event is free and offers the public an opportunity to view the new visiting exhibit called “Inspirations from the Forest”. This exhibit commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Forest Service highlights the occupational and cultural traditions of those who live and work in our nation’s National Forests and Grasslands. This 16-panel exhibition illustrates how artists, writers, and musicians draw inspiration from the world of nature, creating enduring works of art that impress upon us the importance of preserving our natural resources. This exhibition will be available for viewing at the Visitor Center Sept. 22 to Oct. 7, 2006. Some of the other opportunities for visitors to partake in on the Forest include hiking a trail, riding a mountain bike, horse back riding, ATV riding (on the Chequamegon side of the Forest), picnicking, fishing, or just relaxing.
