another staggering development to watch 400,000 acres of wilderness in Maine

The Sierra Club and other environmental organizations are watching this precedent setting development plan in Moosehead Lake, Maine.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of land that is deemed empty by real estate developers is on the chopping block. One of the many recent articles can be found in a Maine publication .

Here is a quote from another web page. Subsitute Tupper Lake for Plum Creek and this will work for NY, too.

the Moosehead Lake region is a beautiful place. We wish to keep it unspoiled and wild and to keep it as much as we can the way it was when the white man first saw it. That is the way it should be kept. I once spoke to a young lady who was visiting there from Ireland. She spoke about how beautiful the area was and said that it reminded her of Galway Bay. We also want the North Woods to be the North Woods way it is. Plum Creek would or will destroy all of this. It will be gone forever. Moosehead Lake area will be gone from the way it is now. This will mostly benefit Plum Creek. Also I am from Piscataquis County. – Keith Church, Winslow
