PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 25, 2023
I feel lucky to live in a state with such a wealth of natural beauty. It is our responsibility to maintain and protect these natural resources for the future of our state. I was shocked to learn of the Canadian Wolfden Resources mining company’s renewed efforts to site a heavy metals mine only 20 miles from Mount Katahdin. This mine’s operation would irreversibly pollute Maine’s waterways, destroy protected wilderness and harm wildlife, all for minimal employment or material gains. I encourage people to voice their concerns through email at wolfdenrezoning.LUPC@maine.gov. The comment period is open until Nov. 2. ~ Della Huntley, South Portland
