Clear-cutting pits Mead Paper against Michigan DNR
Mead Paper Co and Champion International push back at the Michigan DNR over clear cutting in Menominee County since 1981. Mead claims about 108000 acres of disputed woodland, with 12462 acres partially cut and 10569 acres clearcut on the tract since 1981, including planting red pine to boost softwood for Escanaba and Quin nese mills. DNR officials warn that hemlock stands form winter deer habitat for up to 30000 whitetails, and loss of thermal cover raises deer energy needs during scarce winter months.
