The logging is happening, on TNC protected/conserved/mortgaged/whatever land, 
somewhere down the road leading into the Debsconeag Lakes region. As Weary 
can attest, "protected" means different thing to different people in Maine. I'm 
not sure what the small print in TNC's deals were, but I suppose it was like 
the AMC's where continued logging was a condition of the sale.
