The Seattle Audubon Society and the Natural Resources Council of Maine have demanded in documents sent to the Sustainable Forestry Board that it revoke certification for the companies until they comply with standards they have pledged to uphold.
Green Gloves Off
Watermelons on the march...
Let's look at it this way.
NRCM aka"Brownie Carson" would we expect anything else?
In end Brownie will go away and with some luck NRCM will
fade away.
As life has its way of things happening,I wonder how
these people will meet the maker in the end? At least one has to go by
accident with a fully loaded logging truck!!
As a curious aside how does Brownie live with himself if there is a
natural 2x4 in his house?
Please advised if anyone read this previous post I was
under the influence of post Xmas syndrome. I wrote it totally forgot
where I submitted it. I lost it and now foundi t and deleted!!! :shock:

Plum Creek, which filed one of the biggest Measure 37 requests, helped pioneer a new model of forest ownership. As the nation's largest private landowner, Plum Creek plans to continue harvesting timber on four-fifths of its land while using the rest for development or conservation.
In Maine, residents are bitterly divided over a Plum Creek plan to build resorts and vacation homes in a 425,000-acre swath of lakes and forests.

Most people buying lumber to build with look for the best price, not whether or not the research council approves. Seems to me like Plum Creek not 6 monts ago set aside over 400,000 acres of land to make the Research Council and others happy. Didn't take these enviro's long to try their luck again. When will enough be enough? Many on here have said it better then I can,, but the ultimate answer is when the last person leaves Maine and its turned entirely into a park.
