Abstract

"This Just In" piece on Plum Creek Timber Company's proposal to build nearly 1,000 homes and major resort destinations in the Moosehead Lake region. Plum Creek has worked to put a green face on the controversial plan, most notably by touting the benefits of the plan's "conservation framework," which would protect more than 400,000 acres from development. But Roger Merchant, a forester and educator from University of Maine Cooperative Extension, says Plum Creek plans to log more than 250 acres of what may be old-growth forest between Monson and Greenville this summer.
