<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 515820, member: 4381&quot;]I appreciate that.&nbsp; I actually think that it is good. I don&#039;t think the entire continent needs to be divided up and farmed on.&nbsp; I see that unprotected areas in the Appalachians and Finger Lakes areas are like and not a good outcome.&nbsp; The entire country east of the Mississippi was deforested before the country woke up. The thing is that there is different kinds of Federal Land Management and a Federal Forrest has a lot of private lumber business, or example, mining and so on.&nbsp; The Adirondacks was the prototype for the National Parks Service&nbsp; and is different in that regard.&nbsp; It is still the largest Natural reserve in North America and the restrictions on the park have steadily increased over the decades.&nbsp; Even lands within it that are privately owned are strictly regulated.&nbsp; The result has been a blossoming of the environment and strangely enough, although there has been much economic displacement over the decades, it is much better economically now.&nbsp; Prior to the Park the area was nearly stripped down to its bare bones in resources.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
