The Maine Way
Why we’re here and what it means to us.
Lifelong Mainers, we’ve noticed the economic landscape of northern Maine shift over time from thriving to not-so-thriving. We’ve seen our industrious logging legacy hit snafus with the closing of some of the state’s mills and power facilities. The leftover tree debris from tree harvesting that would have historically gone to these places no longer had enough places to go. You see, parts like tree tops and branches are unusable. That lead to an excess of waste wood that remained in the woods after the logging was complete, making replanting of trees nearly impossible because of the ground cover it left, not to mention a huge financial strain on the log-cutting community.
We saw an opportunity to do something good–
for our community, for the vitality of the North Maine Woods—so we began researching… a lot. After much examination, a few flights around the globe to consult the experts, the ordering of some pretty hefty high-tech machinery, and plenty of sweat and tears, we developed MaineFlame.
