Interesting stuff John and Dave! Good stuff for thoughts.
One project that I had a small part in was MICA and it was successful
beyond my wildest dreams. Their WWW site will bring folks up to date on the=
ir
accomplishments. No need for me to list them here.
Every community would do well to copy the plan.
Unfortunately most folks are more into spending money than making it!
They got things to sell! at a big price no doubt!
Other folks want to impose their rules.
Its never easy but we made it work!
Enjoy the summer

Hi Dave and all,
I agree that we need more alternatives for saving our patches of land for f=
uture generations.
A number of years ago, on one my birding field trips, I came upon a 95-year=
old farmer working a small patch of land, surrounded by a mature Sugar Map=
le-Yellow Birch forest, in the high country of Pictou County with a beautif=
ul view of the valley below. In the course of our conversation he expressed=
cynacism about what his relatives would do with the land when he passed aw=
ay, and he lamented the fact that he knew of no way to ensure the protectio=
n of his lifetime of work in caring for the land. Today that land is part o=
f an industrial-scale wind energy facility. It makes me wonder what Nova Sc=
otia would be or could be like if all these patches were preserved. The cho=
ice is not between progress and a romantic clinging to the past as some mig=
ht argue. Rather it is I believe, a choice between seeing the land as a com=
modity for our personal use and profit, or as a heritage, a work of art eve=
n, that we have a collective responsibility to care for and enhance during =
the time we dwell on the land.

Hi John & All,
I suspect conservation, and nature worship, rank high in the minds of m=
ost private woodlot owners.
I was fully disgusted with NS Nature Trust when they sniffed 'We don't =
protect that kind of woodland', when I made inquiries about protecting my w=
oodlot permanently from residential/commercial development.
If you aim to protect 12% of an area then 78% is unprotected and what g=
ood is a pail if 78% of the bottom is missing ?
I never did read the second half of A Sand County Almanac, land ethic, =
because it was preachy and dry, but having read an old National Geographic =
article about Leopold, I now realize he preached conservation as a way of m=
anaging all landscapes.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

GIFTS TO A FUTURE WORLD: CONVERSATIONS WITH WOODLAND OWNERS IN NOVA SCOTIA
By Andrew W. Kekacs
Abstract:
Private, non-industrial woodland owners provide more than half of the timbe=
r used by Nova Scotia=92s forest products industry. Research, however, sugg=
ests many of these owners do not consider income from timber sales to be th=
eir primary reason for owning woodland. This study aimed to reach a holisti=
c understanding of their attitudes and motivations using walking interviews=
on the owners=92 woodlands and a grounded theory approach to analysis, in =
which explanations of the phenomena under study are induced from the data r=
ather than being based on responses to survey questions or derived from a p=
riori hypotheses. Forest landowners interviewed for this research were most=
concerned with the conservation =96 and ultimately the conveyance =96 of v=
alues that provide them with no immediate economic returns. The high value =
placed on these =93gifts to a future world=94 offers a new way to think abo=
ut the design of programs meant to encourage active management of private f=
orestland.
