<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span>A number of years ago, on one my birding f=

surrounded by a mature Sugar Maple-Yellow Birch forest, in the high countr=
y of Pictou County with a beautiful view of the valley below. In the course=
of our conversation he expressed cynacism about what his relatives would d=

of no way to ensure the protection of his lifetime of work in caring for th=
e land. Today that land is part of an industrial-scale wind energy facility=
. It makes me wonder what Nova Scotia would be or could be like if all thes=
e patches were preserved. The choice is not between progress and a romantic=
clinging to the past as some might argue. Rather it is I believe, a choice=
between seeing the land as a commodity for our personal use and profit, or=
as a heritage, a work of art even, that we have a collective responsibilit=
y to care for and enhance during the time we dwell on the land.</span></p>=
