Letter: NECEC won’t tarnish Maine’s woods

SUN JOURNAL • February 24, 2021

There has been endless debate about the New England Clean Energy Connect for the past two years. While I support the project, I understand the concerns opponents have, except for one. This new section of the corridor will not run through a pristine forest, and claims that it is are either misinformed or flat out lies. I urge those with any doubts to take a trip to West Forks or Johnson Mountain so they can see them with their own eyes. What they will discover is a forest that is checkered with logging roads in all directions and woods that have been clear-cut and heavily forested for decades. ~ Alex Titcomb, Bowdoin
