[at-l] C is for Conservancy...

NPR had a report this morning on a land battle near the AT in Maine. 
You can listen to the report at the link below.  Maybe this is old news,
but it's the first I heard of it.  I wonder if there is more nuance to
residents' opinions than what the reporter discusses.

Creek Timber Company wants to put in nearly a thousand lots for houses
-- as part of the largest development proposal in the state's history.
