Got to disagree withy ou my friend! I don't think the sale and development of the north woods to a bunch of people from away is a good thing. I don't think a national park is right either, but I've witnessed the sale of property around my family's homestead (259 years) and seen people driven from their homes by the same thing. I can almost guarantee the folks in Greenville will regret this development in the future when the jobs are grounds keeping and maintenance type work around the new camps.

Carey,
I am shocked and dissapointed in your comments and lack of concern for what little is left to save in the Maine wilderness. Since SAPPI sold of the lands numerous pristine tracks have been lost forever. Would you have had the same attitute when our forefathers saved the WMNF, Baxter, Yosemite. Thank God there are others out there who care enough to make a difference and don't try to negate the good others are trying to do.

Differing opinions are at the heart of a free society. Be sure to add your opinion of the Plum Creek issue at http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/050727plumcreek.shtml.

I personaly think that makeing 'Plum Creek' in Maine has it's advantages and disadvantages.
First off they bought the land so if they don't get a voted in then they will bring it to quart and they will make it so they can build on their own land.
But by building these industries and companies they say will help, they will help polute. This is a disadvantage for Maine is already pretty poluted already.
I know they say they will only build on 2% for so long but what about when that time runs out. They can take all their landand make it into a walking pig-fest.
I know it will help with the jobs in Maine but I think that they should think about what they build fully through. So realy you know after awhile they will build on all their 928,000 acers in Maine but you know this isn'y only in Maine itt is through all of the USA and they will use all their 7,756,000 acres so they will soon enough have it their way.
