BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 26, 2021
In the Nov. 19 Bangor Daily News, I read, with dismay, Lee Ann Szelog’s suggestion to “protect” Maine’s North Woods by making it a national park. Nowhere do I see mention of the livelihood afforded by these wonderful woodlands. As a retired forester I had the privilege of enjoying a rewarding career in the forest products business. Please enjoy the wonders of our well-managed forest, but don’t forsake the importance of its financial benefit. ~ Michael Collins, Fort Kent
