A cutting notice is required to be filed in the Rusk County Clerk's Office, pursuant to Section 26.03 of the Wisconsin Statutes, before any person harvests or directs the harvesting of any raw forest products.
Raw forest products include pulpwood, logs, firewood, whole tree chips, etc. Exceptions to this requirement include cutting firewood for personal home consumption, clearing land for agricultural purposes,
cutting of up to 5 Christmas trees on a person's own property for their own use.
If the land has delinquent property taxes on it that have not been paid, the county will not allow the harvesting to take place.
