“This map tries to send several important messages. It asks Plum Creek to concentrate development near communities in ways that will support the region's economy, provide permanent conservation of high value woods, water and wildlife habitat that are the heart of the region's north woods assets, and it tries to start a conversation about areas needed for nature tourism. This map offers a creative and hopeful win-win solution to an area that does not need to be divided against itself.”

“If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep.”
