The land the federal government would take for a "National Park" is neither an uninhabited pristine forest nor a wasteland ruined by irresponsible forestry.
It is, as it has been for hundreds of years, a healthy and beautiful multi-use woodland that is already extensively protected against over development, visual degradation, and environmental abuse.
It is a treasured home to tens of thousands of native Mainers, seasonal visitors, and businesses, while providing a bountiful habitat for all of nature.
