Budy I know your feeling. My favorite spot have been destroy by 2 big industry. They fuckin clear cut the forest and transform all that land in blueberry fields. Miles and miles of blueberry field, it's a disaster.
That was our ( the local people) place to enjoy nature, hunt, fish, do some 4 wheeler etc etc. It was a beauty of nature, before they came i with their multifonctional harvester.
The worst, they left the majority of the wood they cut on the side of the roads, and you can't go pick it up because they say it's stealing.....Like WTF stealing, its rotting on the side of the roads, wasted natural ressources, it's heartbreaking. Espacially if you think most poeple around here depend on fire wood to survive winter.
They destroyed creeks, swamp and other essential nature places. Polluted the rivers and made the animals to desert the region.
They left us with nothing. And they are laughing at us. And to make it worst they have hired outside contractors to do the jobs.
I'm a strong believer in karma, someday they will have to face the bad things they did .
These people usually are having an extremely horrible life as it is and all of these issues so they're probably living their own hell.
Pretty crazy that people are more interested in profiting than their surroundings.
