I agree with both letters in the Sept. 29 Central Maine Sunday about the butchering of all green growth around our busy interstate intersections (“I-95 clearings take out critical habitat” and “I-95 clearcutting is ‘Operation Overkill’“). It used to be a relief to find cool shade as we rounded the highways.
Ever since the bulldozing, I look at our man-made deserts that our eyesores now and wonder: Why? Clear cutting is bad for almost every environment there is. Keep Maine green, please, highway department.
