The Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL) in Wisconsin is the state's oldest agency, dedicated to managing Trust Fund assets and School Trust Lands for the benefit of public education and the state's citizens. With a commitment to sustainable land management and historical preservation, BCPL oversees over $1.4 billion in assets and 77,000 acres of land, generating investment income for public school library aid. BCPL plays a crucial role in financing public purpose projects through loans to municipalities and school districts, contributing to Wisconsin's timber economy and promoting public access to vast northern forests. The agency also maintains a rich archive of historical records related to the state's land and early settlers, serving as a valuable resource for landowners, researchers, and others interested in Wisconsin's heritage.
