With 94 percent of the reservation containing timber assets, the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin is eager to exploit its natural resources but also careful to preserve them for future generations.

"We don't cut any more out of a forest than it can grow in a year's time," Alan Caldwell, director of the Menominee Culture Institute, tells The Green Bay Press-Gazette.

The tribe harvests about 14 million board feet of saw timber and 75,000 cords of pulpwood every year.
