They mined salt, copper, iron, sand, gravel, cut timber, pumped water, fished, hunted and destroyed natural habitats by conversion to agriculture. ETA: Forgot to mention that the state burned over twice after the massive logging in the 1800s and shipping commerce has caused a freshwater invasive species problem.
The whole damn state would be an empty desert if there wasn't some conservation efforts.

Thanks for your reply, actually I was looking forward to it as IIRC you live near a wetland.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, Dune
