A leader in the field of natural resources warns that land use planning must recognize that private land ownership is the cornerstone upon which this country has been built. Pressures against private ownership of land, he adds, include ever-mounting taxes, the uses permitted under local zoning, compensation for loss of value if taken for public purposes and regulations relating to the environment. The belief has been encouraged that private landowners are exploiters and wasters of land. Such a belief is utterly false. The best evidence of its falseness is the thousands of miles of farm and ranch lands -and timber lands- stretching from coast to coast. They furnish mute testimony to the truth of the observation of the natural resource leader that, "American farmers and ranchers have given this country the greatest record of conservation in recorded history." It has been achieved within the framework of private landownership. It should be remembered that while planning has its place, so does the right of property ownership.

Norman Clow of Heppner has been in charge of the timber sale marking and has been assisted by Don Kenison also of Heppner, and Mattlon Hicks of Lone Rock. Most of their work has been concentrated on the Two Spring and Bull Timber Sales.
