Is all that studying necessary?

April 20, 2012

NH Business Review Staff,

To the editor:Regarding an article in the April 6-19 issue (“$20m grant to fuel study of N.H. economy, quality of life”), $20 million is a lot of money.I wonder what percentage will be devoted to studying forests?It’s interesting to note that both the state of New Hampshire and the federal government study New Hampshire forests regularly and extensively, with the feds publishing exhaustive data on a regular basis.One has to wonder how more studying is necessary?Donald BradleyRye
