Dear
Mick and Jim,
Phil
Hough and I reported to the conservation committee about the recent tour you led
of Race Tract Pulp and East Caribou. They asked me to thank you again for this
field visit and the information you shared.
The
committee felt that the East Caribou area is of potential botanic interest and
it hopes to schedule a trip in the spring to search for unusual plants in that
general area, including the wetlands to the SE of the planned harvest.
They
were particularly concerned that the natural holding and drainage action of this
large adjoining wetland not be disrupted by nearby soil compaction during
harvest and asked me to relay their sense of the importance of the drainage
issue.
The
committee very much appreciates having a cordial working relationship with you
and your staff. We hope to continue working with you to accomplish your goals of
funding
Sincerely,
Molly
O'Reilly
