Demand for Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine ran high after news of Gov. Scott Walker's plans to shutter the publication became widely known.

Subscription requests for Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine ran high two weeks ago after a flurry of news coverage about Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan to shut down the self-supporting, nearly 100-year-old publication. The state Department of Natural Resources received 1,394 subscriptions orders in the eight days between Feb. 13 and Wednesday, DNR spokesman Jim Dick said in an email Monday.
