“I have read many definitions of what is a conservationist, and written not a few myself, but I suspect that the best one is written not with a pen, but with an axe.  It is a matter of what a man thinks about while chopping, or while deciding what to chop.  A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke he is writing his signature on the face of his land.”

Aldo Leopold, 1949
