Collaborative Stewardship at Work: Proceedings of a Conference
October 2002
Excerpt from Foreword by Courtney White:
"In late April 2001, the Camino Real District of the Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico and The Quivira Coalition sponsored a conference to highlight innovative, collaborative and community-driven work that was being done to restore environmental and economic vitality on public and private land in northern New Mexico.
"Although the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico have been home to indigenous peoples for many centuries, traditional, self-sustaining work - including subsistence farming, timbering, ranching and other economic activities - is threatened by a host of diverse pressures. Compounding these threats is a long and frequently contentious relationship between local residents and federal land management agencies, epitomized by the long-running dispute over the fate of historic land grants."
