New Hampshire seems to have a pretty successful formula for attracting tourists from far and wide. Much of that, of course, is in the natural beauty abundant in our lakes, mountains, and seacoast. Read moreTrash the tourists? Not a good look for NH
New Hampshire has made the correct decision in rejecting an out-of-state company’s plan to sharply reduce logging in the vast Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Forest while the company cashes in on selling more “carbon credits” to other out-of-state companies.
