Two Quotes on the Land

Jason Heppler

Aldo Leopold:

What more delightful avocation than to take a piece of land and by cautious experimentation to prove how it works. What more substantial service to conservation than to practice it on one’s own land?

Edward Abbey:

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading go the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can.

This is a note — a shorter observation, sometimes provisional or incomplete. ~0.015g CO2 TwoquotesPlaceRe placing
