Require the Secretary of Agriculture to release a reversionary interest in certain land in the Black River State Forest in Millston, Wisconsin, and for other purposes.

This bill lets Wisconsin swap a small piece of Black River State Forest land with nearby private land owned or to be acquired by Deli, Inc., a local sphagnum moss business in Millston. To make the swap possible, it tells the U.S. Department of Agriculture to lift a federal restriction that currently says the state land must stay for public use forever. Once Wisconsin offers a written land-swap agreement, the Secretary of Agriculture must quickly provide a quitclaim deed to release that federal claim so the exchange can happen. After the swap, the private land from Deli, Inc. would be added to the state forest.

The exchange would trade about 31.83 acres from the state forest for about 37.27 acres from Deli, Inc., increasing the total land in the forest and adjusting boundaries near Millston. The USDA can correct any legal description errors as needed for the deed. Deli, Inc. is specifically named in the bill, and the land locations and sizes are spelled out in detail.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Wisconsin (and its Department of Natural Resources), Deli, Inc., and people who live near or use Black River State Forest.
• What changes: A federal public-use restriction is released so the state can trade 31.83 acres of forest land for 37.27 acres from Deli, Inc.; the new land is added to the forest; USDA issues a quitclaim deed and may fix description errors.
• When: After Wisconsin offers a written agreement for the swap; the deed release happens before the exchange is recorded, and as quickly as practicable.
