Hype for the Future 104K: The National Forests of Michigan
Introduction Within the State of Michigan, three (3) distinct national forest zones exist serving notable roles throughout the scope of the community. The national forests in question are the Huron-Manistee, Hiawatha, and Ottawa National Forests, with the three distinct national forest zones offering unique perspectives on the general area of the Northwoods region of the Upper Midwest. Huron-Manistee National Forest Although the Huron and Manistee National Forests are geographically […] -

The larva from a green lacewing (f. Chrysopidae). These are one of the bugs where the larval form is terrifying but the adult is surprisingly weak. At least this one isn't wearing the corpses of its victims as camouflage.

Here's an idea -- instead of building a transmission line through untouched woods, why not put wind power and transmission lines on land already used for timber harvesting!
Northern #Maine transmission line gets key vote from state regulators

"Longroad Energy’s proposed King Pine project which won a bid from the PUC on Wednesday would feature more than 160 wind turbines scattered across 175,000 acres of commercial timberlands north of Oakfield. At roughly 1,000 megawatts, the King Pine project would be Maine’s largest wind power facility, by far."

Maine energy: Much delayed US-Canada hydro project gets go-ahead
By Robin Levinson-King, BBC, April 20, 2023
"#Environmental groups also challenged the permits over concerns about the project's impact on #Maine's #NorthWoods.
"In November 2021, the state held a referendum on whether the project should be cancelled. More than 400,000 people showed up to vote - a huge turnout for a state with a population of 1.3 million.
"Last August, the state's Supreme Court weighed in on the case, ruling that the referendum could not be retroactively applied if CMP had vested rights, kicking it back to a lower court to determine the extent of those rights.
"Thursday's ruling sided with #CMP, who had already spent $450m on construction before the project was halted."
