Well put quickie, here is a email I got today for a Wi DNR Update and its a start:

A new stewardship access rule is the subject of three public input sessions scheduled for early April. Hosted by the Natural Resources Board Stewardship subcommittee and the Department of Natural Resources, the meetings will be held April 1 in Waukesha, April 3 in Eau Claire and April 8 in Green Bay.
The passage of the state budget last fall included the reauthorization of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund. “Governor Jim Doyle made a commitment to future generations in his successful drive to increase the amount of the Stewardship Fund from $60 million to $86 million each year for ten years beginning in 2011,” DNR Secretary Matt Frank said.
The Stewardship reauthorization includes a provision requiring that lands purchased with Stewardship funds be open to five nature-based outdoor activities: hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, cross-country skiing, and any other nature-based outdoor activity as designated by rule by the DNR. The legislature provided for limited exceptions if the Natural Resources Board determines it is necessary to prohibit one or more of the activities to protect public safety, to protect a unique animal or plant community, or to accommodate other usership patterns. This requirement does not apply to state park properties.
The Department will work with the public and a citizen advisory group to help identify criteria to determine under what circumstances these five primary nature-based outdoor activities may be restricted or prohibited, and to define “usership” patterns.
“We want this process to be thoughtful and thorough,” said Frank “We look forward to working with the public to help us formulate a rule to provide opportunities for a full range of recreational activities.”
Since its inception in 1990, the Stewardship Fund has been used by the Department to acquire 447,000 acres, and an additional 58,000 acres was acquired using Stewardship Grants by local governments and conservation organizations. More than 92 percent of this land is open to hunting and more than 98 percent is open to fishing, ensuring that future generations in Wisconsin will have a place to hunt and fish as well as hike, ski, view nature and camp.
