Article Abstract:
Maine's Green Party and Ban Clearcutting have gotten a referendum to ban clearcutting, which has denuded much of northern Maine, on the state ballot. The paper industry and landowners have raised large funds to oppose it, but welcome the chance to explain the need for clearcutting to Maine's citizens.
