I have worked in western Maine’s outdoor recreation industry for four years, and I am a resident of West Forks. I moved here for many reasons, but the main reason is the natural and remote environment and beauty of The Forks area. I strongly oppose the Central Maine Power corridor for what I see as its damaging effect on the environment, wildlife, scenic views and the recreation tourism industry. I also oppose this project for its ineffectiveness against climate change, how the corridor could prevent the growth of Maine-based renewable energy and how it could eliminate forestry and biomass jobs. ~ Emily Wolf, West Forks
