<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span>A number of years ago, on one my=
birding field trips, I came upon a 95-year old farmer working a small patc=
h of land, surrounded by a mature Sugar Maple-Yellow Birch forest, in the h=
igh country of Pictou County with a beautiful view of the valley below. In =
the course of our conversation he expressed cynacism about what his relativ=
es would do with the land when he passed away, and he lamented the fact tha=
t he knew of no way to ensure the protection of his lifetime of work in car=
ing for the land. Today that land is part of an industrial-scale wind energ=
y facility. It makes me wonder what Nova Scotia would be or could be like i=
f all these 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 res=
ponsibility to care for and enhance during the time we dwell on the land.</=
