Book Synopsis Conserving State Trust Lands by : Susan Culp
Download or read book Conserving State Trust Lands written by Susan Culp and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States are obligated to generate income from state trust lands to fund public institutions, through mining, grazing, agriculture, or logging. However, this report--a product of Western Lands and Communities, a joint program of the Lincoln Institute and the Sonoran Institute--shows how conservation can be an equally robust source of revenue. From the mid-1700s to the late 1950s, state trust lands were granted to states upon their entrance into the Union for the sole purpose of supporting public institutions, primarily K-12 public schools. Eighty-five percent of the remaining 46 million acres of state trust lands are concentrated in the West. This report explores current and recommended strategies to conserve state trust lands with ecological and environmental value, while maintaining the trust obligation to earn revenue for K-12 schools and other beneficiaries. Building on the Lincoln Institute's previous report, State Trust Lands in the West: Fiduciary Duty in a Changing Landscape (2006), and a companion website, State Trust Lands (statetrustlands.org), the authors evaluate the pros and cons of the conservation mechanisms that are currently available to state trust land management agencies, including conservation sales and leases through easements or outright fee-simple purchases, contributory value and nonmonetary value, ecosystems services markets, and land tenure and exchange. They also offer recommendations for new methods to realize revenue from conservation activity. Key recommendations are to: expand the use of conservation sales and leases; improve the utility of contributory value in the master planning process; increase access to ecosystem services markets; and streamline the land tenure adjustment process, which includes reform of the appraisal process. Monetizing conservation will provide opportunities for land management agencies to pursue conservation options. All state trusts carry the mandate to fund beneficiaries in perpetuity, indicating the need for sustainable land management practices.

Book Synopsis Divided Lands by : Holly Lippke Fretwell
Download or read book Divided Lands written by Holly Lippke Fretwell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly half of the western United States is owned by the federal government. In recent years, several western states have considered resolutions demanding that the federal government transfer much of this land to state ownership. These efforts are motivated by concerns over federal land management, including restrictions on natural resource development, poor land stewardship, limitations on access, and low financial returns. This study compares state and federal land management in the West. It examines the revenues and expenditures associated with federal land management and compares them with state trust land management in four western states: Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, and Arizona. The report explains why revenues and expenditures differ between state and federal land agencies and discusses several possible implications of transferring federal lands to the states.

Book Synopsis Rethinking the Federal Lands by : Sterling Brubaker
Download or read book Rethinking the Federal Lands written by Sterling Brubaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government is by far the largest landowner in the United States. It is somewhat of an anomaly for the federal government to hold vast acreages of land in an economy where the prevailing ideology favours private ownership. The Reagan administration’s (1981-1989) proposal to increase energy and mineral development on federal lands, to accelerate timber harvesting in national forests, and to expand the sale of federal lands generated strong and vocal opposition. Originally published in 1984, in the midst of the Reagan era, Rethinking the Federal Lands examines why the U.S. has retained federal lands and questions how ownership affects the management of federal lands and the total benefits society derives from them. This title is ideal for students interested in environmental studies and policy making.

Book excerpt: Learn how those impacted by new national monuments are redefining land protection in the west.Reading more like drama than history, through the analogy created by Clinton's naming of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah, Give & Take captures the complexity of the issues surrounding protection of what appears to be the limitless frontier amidst natural and manmade limitations. Give & Take combines frontline reporting by journalists for High Country News, with commentary by some of the West's leading writers. It vividly brings to life a diverse populace, contradictory aspirations and forces, spectacular and fragile natural landscapes, and evolving economic forces that are reshaping the myths regarding the West's lands and culture.
Book Synopsis Explorations In Environmental History by : Samuel P. Hays
Download or read book Explorations In Environmental History written by Samuel P. Hays and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1998-02-15 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel P. Hays is one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of environmental history and the leading thinker of its first generation. The range and quality of the scholarship collected here reflect his work as a teacher, scholar, and activist writing in environmental history and provide a powerful exclamation point to a long and distinguished career.The depth of Hays's research is evident on every page of this collection. He was not one who published just to publish; he wrote what was important and spoke to the heart of continuing debates about the environment from 1959, with the publication of Conservation and the Gospel of Efficiency to the present day.As well as representing his best work from the past four decades, this collection includes four pieces published here for the first time. One of these, the opening essay, is Hay's autobiographical account of his encounters with many participants in environmental studies and those vigorously involved in contemporary environmental politics. Amid the entire series of environmental dramas that have engaged his attention, he has sought "to establish the case that a perspective of change and evolution over time, the focus of the historian, can be of immense value in informing the ongoing debates over environmental affairs." This arguement runs through this work.
Book Synopsis Contested Landscape by : Doug Goodman
Download or read book Contested Landscape written by Doug Goodman and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Contested Landscape is a collection of essays that frame the wide-ranging passions and details of the political debate over wilderness issues in Utah and the West. Utah contains more Bureau of Land Management acreage than any other state in the United States with the exception of Nevada and Alaska. To some this acreage is more than enough, to others too little, hence the debate. The national debate about this western issue has continued virtually unabated for over twenty years, involving local, state, tribal, and national politics and revealing a diverse national opinion on the value of wilderness. Contested Landscape addresses this heated debate in objective terms, avoiding pejorative labels while exploring the positions of both pro-wilderness and multiple-use advocates. Contested Landscape clarifies relevant laws, policies, court cases, and political activity. This book provides useful background, examining the evolution of the wilderness concept, the U.S. Constitution and wilderness designation, and the BLM wilderness inventory. It also addresses 'hotbutton' political issues: mining and other extractive uses of wilderness, state trust lands, grazing, roadless areas, archaeological resources, and the 'cost' of solitude. In their conclusion the editors offer workable solutions including a community contextual approach to negotiation. The broad range of perspectives and issues assembled in Contested Landscape, although framed by the Utah wilderness debate, is far-reaching enough to allow each reader to draw his or her own conclusions about wilderness issues in the New West. As the editors conclude, this 'is not about right or wrong; it's about needs and values. When we begin to consider all of these needs and values, then we will find a solution'"--
