A New Approach To Public Land Management

"Uncle Sam created a 'government corporation' called the Valles Caldera Trust to manage the land and determine its future use. The trust, which took over its responsibilities from the U.S. Forest Service this month, is governed by nine presidential appointees. It must sort through an odd assortment of laudable but contradictory principles: preservation of the ecosystem, research, natural-resource husbandry, ranching, public recreational use and eventual financial self-sustainability."
