It is the finding of Keeping Maine’s Forests that an unusual and timely opportunity for a bold, landscapescale conservation effort may soon arrive. A coalition that represents the interests of landowners, mill owners, loggers, conservation groups and public agencies can be used to pioneer unique arrangements that: Maintain a stable or increasing flow of wood fiber; Protect key natural resources; Maintain air and water quality; Preserve key wildlife habit; Provide abundant recreational opportunities; and Sustain local economies.
