College Station, TX: Texas A&M University, Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1995.http://hdl.handle.net/10217/40515Proceedings from a conference of the Texas Section of the Society for Range Management.Includes bibliographical references (page 49).The rangeland manager should examine not just this or that forty acres, or four thousand acres of private land. One is managing in the context of landscape wide ecosystems. Do you want to manage nature? Or do you seek an increased quality of life in habitat? Nature in that sense is not a resource to be managed, but a home where we reside. Dealing with an acre or two of real estate, perhaps even with hundreds or thousands of acres, we can think that the earth belongs to us, as private property holders. Dealing with a landscape, we can think that the earth belongs to us, as citizens of the country geographically located there. But even on landscape scales we pass from a sense of what belongs to us to a sense of belonging in a place.born digitalchapters (layout features)eng©1995 Texas A&M University, Texas Agricultural Extension Service.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
