Questions while driving from Wolfeboro to Laconia

Today we had to run some errands in the Laconia area. A few questions came up along the way.

Does anyone know what all the tree clearing is for on the eastern side of Alton Bay, across from the Mount Washington dock? I'm surprised I haven't seen anything in the forums about this (or perhaps I missed it).
While we had seen the logging going on from the Rt. 28 side all summer, never realized how extensive it was and how far down the hill it goes. It's a large area and now that the leaves are gone, it's very noticeable.
Anyone know how the state determines when to cut trees at a scenic view? The one just after Ellacoya Park, toward Gilford, is one of the prettiest spots on the lake. But the trees in front have grown up so much you almost can't see the view.

Just random thoughts after a drive in the quiet season.
