The White Mountain National Forest is in discussions for the potential addition of a 700-acre tract of land adjacent to the forest in Albany that would enhance recreational resources and protect wildlife and the Crooked River watershed, according to acquisition supporters.The parcel, owned by a family company, Penley & Mills, Inc., shares about 10,000 feet of boundary with current WMNF lands. If the land is acquired, Maine would continue to receive revenue from it in the form of payments in lieu of taxes.
