Dead River Rough Cut

beaverish water . . . .

Hi everyone,
thanks to everyone for another year's fantastic showing of the classic back-to-nature film, Dead River Rough Cut. Depicting a year in the life of Bob Wagg and Walter Lane, this cult favorite is touted as "the most requested video at the Maine State Prison!"

For those of you who missed it, a copy will be on reserve at Mann Library so that you can watch it after spring break.

Anyway, have a great break everyone! see you when you get back.
Jim

That's beaverish . . . .

Roxanne Quimby and Maine land protection

Here is an article about Roxanne Quimby, who purchased the 24,000-acre Township 5 Range 8WELS in Maine several years ago.

The article describes Quimby's land management philosophy:

Quimby’s intent for her latest property will be "wildlife sanctuary" -- a designation that will mirror the management of the adjoining Baxter township, T5R9. "I'm interested in creating wilderness to allow natural processes to evolve" and where human impacts are as minimal as possible, she said. In keeping with her policy for her other conservation lands, there will be no timber harvesting and no hunting in T5R8. Motorized access will be limited, Quimby said.

The article further goes on to state, "The environmental organization RESTORE: The North Woods is working to establish a 3.2 million-acre national park and preserve around 'forever wild' Baxter State Park. Quimby has been a public advocate of RESTORE’s effort."

Great term paper topic!!
