“Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty,” John Adams
Gifford Pinchot, first Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, declared in 1907 that "conservation is the wise use of resources." Over time, "conservation" has come to mean not using resources at all. Ours is one of many groups that are working to promote an ethic which recognizes that human beings, like all animals, do use resources. And virtue lies in avoiding unnecessary harm to the environment.
