The logging company's did start to burn large brush piles after the cut  was over, Not sure why they stopped it. Most likely the money was the reason. Foresters for northern companies don't seem to last long .

there is definitely a lot less trees in northern arostook county! never seen devastation like the last 6-7 years up here. its no longer northern maine woods . its northern maine clearcut! if theres any cold water species spawing habitat that survives this i will be surprised! check it out on google earth!

I can't speak for all of Northern Maine, but I have traveled a lot of the roads up there around camp and the clear cutting that has been done over the last 5 years or so is massive.

Steve and Huemorin are correct.

X2  The Canadians clear  cut everything on the north side of the St Lawrence about 20years ago and the only trees left were in Maine all their interest is to cut and leave . the mess is everywhere in Northern Maine
