‘American Loggers’ to feature unlikely guest star: The Nature Conservancy

By Nick Sambides Jr., BDN Staff

MILLINOCKET, Maine — It is, at least according to stereotypes, an unlikely pairing: A traditional logging company working with one of the nation’s largest environmental preservationist groups.

Yet The Nature Conservancy and the Pelletier family will be featured at 10 p.m. this Friday on the Discovery Channel’s “American Loggers” reality TV show as the Pelletiers cut trees from several acres of Nature Conservancy land in the St. John Forest near the Quebec border in the bitter January cold.
