Raspaud and Wang conjectured that every triangle-free planar graph can be vertex-partitioned into an independent set and a forest. Independently, Kawarabayashi and Thomassen also remarked that this might be true, after providing another proof of a result of Borodin and Glebov, showing this result for planar graphs of girth~5. Subsequently, Dross, Montassier, and Pinlou raised the same question and proved that every triangle-free planar graph can be partitioned into a forest and another forest of maximum degree~5. More recently, Feghali and Šámal improved this bound on the maximum degree to~3. In this note, we further improve the result by showing that every triangle-free planar graph can be partitioned into a forest and a linear forest, that is, a forest of maximum degree~2.
