how we see land

"We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it
with love and  respect."

                    - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac (1949)

A Sand Country Almanac

Bewing Well done you for quoting this seminal work. If anyone here hasn't read it, they have a highly educational treat in store. For those who don't know his writings, Leopold was a professional who began with a conventional outlook on nature which, by decades of practical experience, grew into a profound and highly practical insight. regards, Lewis
