The Wausau Paper website is a good place to begin your land search. They maintain a "Timberlands" page that provides details about timberland sales. At the bottom of the page, there is a "Search for Properties" link, which allows you to search Wausau Paper-owned land that is currently for sale. This is the easiest way to locate and purchase land directly from Wausau Paper.
Public Use
-
Why do you want to buy Wausau Paper timberlands in the first place? If it's only for recreational purposes (e.g., hunting or hiking) you may not need to purchase land at all. According to the Wausau Paper website, "Most company lands are open to the public for hunting and fishing. Other recreational activities include snowmobiling, hiking and cross country skiing."

Local Realtors
-
Another option is to find a real estate agent in central Wisconsin who specializes in recreational acreage. There are websites available to help you search central Wisconsin land parcels through various agents. This way, you may find "secondhand" Wausau Paper land--parcels that somebody once bought through Wausau Paper, then put back on the market. Such lots may be better than direct purchases, as they will include regrowth where the timber was originally harvested.
