Proposed Development Near Acadia National Park Stirs Controversy
A development
proposed near Maine's Acadia National Park has conservation groups and
park officials worried it could be harmful to the park, according to a
recent article in the
Boston Globe.
According to the
report, the development would be an "eco-resort" with two hotels, an
18-hole golf course, and up to 1,000 homes.
But it would be
viewable from a panoramic overlook at Schoodic Head. And park officials
and conservation groups believe the project would be destructive to the
park. They say it would break up wildlife habitat and taint the isolated
beauty of the peninsula's parkland, diminishing the wilderness
experience for day hikers at Schoodic Head.
