Maine conservationist pursues national park gift plan
Roxanne Quimby, founder of Burt's Bees, aims to donate over 70 000 wild acres adjacent to Baxter State Park to the federal government to create a Maine Woods National Park and set aside 30 000 more acres for a state parklike area with hunting. She seeks a five year donation timeline around the National Park Service centennial, while facing initial criticism from Maine sportsmen led by George Smith.
