In 2005, I wrote my “I Have a Dream” article about the time
when various user and conservation groups might find a way to work together to
manage public lands.

After reading Peter Kareiva’s “New Environmentalism” article, I feel that we may be a bit closer to that
reality. Kareiva is a chief scientist at
The Nature Conservancy.

As somebody who worked in the timber industry back in the
1970s, I appreciated where – at the end of the article – Kareiva extended a
literary hand of friendship to “loggers.”
Maybe one day, that hand will be extended to the OHV community as well. In some places, I think it already
has.
