Abstract
This article examines the environmental gains, losses and unexpected consequences of ending the log drives on Maine's rivers. The campaign's leading champion, Howard Trotzky, believes the support of the Maine Times in the very early 1970s was critical to the success of the campaign. Deprived of the rivers, logging companies turned to road-building, and, by 1977, the Maine Times began monitoring that issue as well. The Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), then in its formative stages, did not regulate controversial logging-road construction practices in its first comprehensive plan for Maine's wild lands, and in its 1997 revised plan, LURC simply makes note of the issue.
