Opinion: Mining in the Katahdin region could endanger Maine’s outdoor economy

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • October 3, 2023

As longtime owners of sporting camps in Maine, we know the deep connection that a clean and healthy environment has to the state’s economic success. Maine’s North Woods are the backbone of a booming outdoor recreation economy. We cannot afford to put this unique place at risk with a mine. We believe the Land Use Planning Commission must reject Wolfden Resource’s proposed rezoning change to allow the company to develop a metal mine near Pickett Mountain and Mount Chase. ~ Jen Brophy, Red River Camps in Deboullie Township and Igor Sikorsky, Bradford Camps on Munsungan Lake
