Land-Use Ethic

A Land-Use Ethic begins with an awareness of the land and its ecological processes, and a desire to understand and appreciate land's essential values. This awareness then promotes a sense of responsibility and obligation to acknowledge these values and be accountable for our actions, as those actions affect the plant, wildlife and other land communities and the land's productivity to meet greater needs.
