Hell it even leaves off public companies. Weyerhaueser owns like 12 million acres.

Planted over 1 billion trees to cut down and sell. Nothing wrong with that but the way it’s worded makes it seem like they are doing it altruistically. Nah, they want more money.

Well, it's actually excellent authority. An insider at the institution in question.

So dramatic lol

I don't think you know what that means.
And you purport to not like drama, but you're making drama here in the comments.

She's married to one of them.

Or maybe she was originally; for a while she was married to that other guy who owned the Press Herald.

Ah, you're right!
She's not my rep, so I had no they weren't the same man!

This info isn't necessarily accurate.
Much forest land is owned by trusts, LLCs, etc, and the actual 'beneficial owners' of these entities are not publicly known.
I have it on good authority that the largest land owner in Maine is not the Irving Family, but rather an institution that hides its ownership by owning parcels under multiple entities with undisclosed beneficial ownership.
