• Fairfield, Maine - A Wednesday action and rally in Maine left the Plum Creek Timber Company office adorned with painted slogans such as "Maine is not for sale," "Scum Creek" and "2nd growth, not 2nd homes." Also the company's sign was removed. The protesters decried the company's plans to "develop" 426,000 acres of wilderness around Moosehead Lake.
