<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span>I agree that we need more alternati=
ves for saving our patches of land for future generations.</span></p>=20
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span>A number of years ago, on one my bi=
rding field trips, I came upon a 95-year old farmer working a small patch o=
f land, surrounded by a mature Sugar Maple-Yellow Birch forest, in the high=
country 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 do with the land when he passed away, and he lamented the fact that h=
e knew of no way to ensure the protection of his lifetime of work in caring=
for the land. Today that land is part of an industrial-scale wind energy f=
acility. It makes me wonder what Nova Scotia would be or could be like if a=
ll these patches were preserved. The choice is not between progress and a r=
omantic 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 pro=
fit, or as a heritage, a work of art even, that we have a collective respon=
sibility to care for and enhance during the time we dwell on the land.</spa=
