In northern Maine there is a threat to watershed sources of the Meduxnekeag River from the proposal from Wolfden to the Land Use Planning Commission to rezone a pristine area of lakes and streams to a development area so they can undertake an underground metallic mineral mine. The American Friends Service Committee Wabanaki Program Committee joins the Houlton Band of Maliseets, Penobscot Nation, Trout Unlimited, Natural Resources Council of Maine, local camp owners and residents in opposition to a metal mine on Pickett Mountain — an area of clean, Class A waters. ~ Marilyn Roper, AFSC Wabanaki Program Committee, Houlton
