You skeptic, you.
 

"A key factor in the Grafton Notch project is maintaining the ability for  
commercial wood cutting to support the region's forest products jobs,"
 
Increased frantic logging activity on the North side of the AT thru the  
Mahoosucs last summer obscured popular trailheads on the Success Pond road.  The 
usual M.O. in Maine has liquidation logging closely followed by  so-called 
"conservation" of the  land. Is clearcutting/deforestation** really better than 
condos? I'm  not so sure anymore.

**this is called "sustainable forestry" in Maine. The lumber barons changed  
the legalese so now any liquidation harvesting that leaves a  little soil 
behind is "Certified Green."
