I think it is key for us to try not to preserve but to conserve our resources. If we choose to live amongst our natural resources then it should be our responsibility to conserve, live wisely, manage soundly, and become stewards of our natural landscapes.

Tap into your resources, use sound science, re-invest into your land, and stewardship will be practiced.</p> <p>Naomi</p> It is nice to know that there are incentives out there for landowners to tap into for the purpose of forest stewardship.

This thread on good stewardship is a wonderful idea. Thanks for all you are doing to protect biodiversity from mass extinction, to preserve Earth’s body from wanton dissipation, to halt relentless degradation of the environment and, with a bit of luck and a great deal of work, to save the family of humanity from reckless endangerment as well as to spare the human species from an even worse threat.

Sincerely yours,

Steve
