As fourth-generation residents with long family ties to the working forests of the Moosehead Lake region, we urge you to help us protect Moosehead from the inappropriate development proposed by Plum Creek.

This beautiful, forested, lake landscape with the wildlife that lives in it is also our golden goose. We have a wonderful quality of life and the precious gift of a nature-based economy.

This is good for us and a good thing for all Mainers.
