of most private woodlot owners.
I was fully disgusted with NS Nature Trust when they sniffed 'We=20
don't protect that kind of woodland', when I made inquiries about=20
protecting my woodlot permanently from residential/commercial=20
development.

what good is a pail if 78% of the bottom is missing ?

ethic, because it was preachy and dry, but having read an old National=20
Geographic article about Leopold, I now realize he preached conservation=20
as a way of managing all landscapes.
