The Art Of Land Doctoring

What Conservation Education Must Build Is An Ethical Underpinning For Land Economics And A Universal Curiosity To Understand The Land Mechanism. Conservation May Then Follow.

In Our Attempt To Make Conservation Easy, We Have Made It Trivial.

The Most Important Characteristic Of An Organism Is That Capacity For Internal Self-renewal Known As Health. There Are Two Organisms Whose Processes Of Self-renewal Have Been Subjected To Human Interference And Control. One Of These Is Man Himself (medicine And Public Health). The Other Is Land (agriculture And Coservation). The Effort To Control The Health Of Land Has Not Been Very Successful.

Civilization Has So Cluttered This Elemental Man-earth Relationship With Gadgets And Middlemen That Awareness Of It Is Growing Dim. We Fancy That Industry Supports Us, Forgetting What Supports Industry.

If Education Really Educates, There Will, In Time, Be More And More Citizens Who Understand That Relics Of The Old West Add Meaning And Value To The New. Youth Yet Unborn Will Pole Up The Missouri With Lewis And Clark, Or Climb The Sierras With James Capen Adams, And Each Generation In Turn Will Ask: Where Is The Big White Bear? It Will Be A Sorry Answer To Say He Went Under While Conservationists Weren't Looking.
