Wood heat- local, renewable and affordable- again the cheapest way to heat this winter. @FeelGoodHeat_ #woodisgood

[Bangor Daily News @bangordailynews]

Other than wood, natural gas is the cheapest source of heating fuel in Maine right now but is a relatively new part of the energy mix here. https://t.co/Lxaeeso6H5

"If we reimagine forests, we can see that the cutting of a tree — as part of a holistic forest management approach — can be as profound a gift to the forest as its life." Seeing beyond the forest trees https://t.co/MkzQDPUJ2p

Hey @TheAthletic @nytimes local beatwriters were the whole idea of your product and why I’ve paid for it since the beginning. This is a crappy decision and I won’t be renewing.

[Dan Connolly @danconnolly2016]

Sorry to upstage Flag Day with personal news. Friday is my last day @TheAthletic, cuz of its decision to move on from localized beat coverage. This is my 23rd season covering O's (5 for TA). Thanks to awesome teammates there & readers who stuck with me. Hoping for a new chapter.

"As a mill business and as a forest industry, we’re hoping to maintain and strengthen our wood products industry, and hopefully grow it, with the amount of wood that is growing. You know, the garden needs to be tended." https://t.co/11CBhScm24

[Society for Forest Stewardship @413forests]

"Harvesting timber from forests, for both environmental and commercial purposes, is a vital forest management tactic promoting biodiversity, forest regeneration and carbon sequestration, according to local and state experts." @maura_healey https://t.co/uoWO67RVcd

[Forest Resources Association (FRA) @ForestResources]

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

This @NYTOpinion is a strange form of #climate denial. With climate change ravaging our forests on public lands, we know that some won’t survive without help from climate-smart forestry. That means doing nothing can cost us everything.
