Jan 24, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Irving Woodlands, LLC has developed a long-term vision for the Fish River chain of lakes (Long Lake, Mud Lake, Cross Lake, and Square Lake) in northern Aroostook County, Maine. It addresses ecological resources, working forests, recreation, economic development, and regional planning around the lakes, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

In its concept plan, Irving Woodlands, LLC proposes to re-zone 51,000 acres to better protect and manage the existing uses of the region and its resources. The plan will be in effect for 30 years and establish a sustainable framework for both growth and conservation. More than 96 percent of the plan provides significant long-term protection from development - including over 14,600 acres in a permanent conservation easement and 33,800 acres in restrictive zoning.
