I really appreciated your distinction, too, between the conservation ethic and stewardship and engagement. Again, in the rural areas that I represent, the word “stewardship” is a much friendlier word when it comes to our interactions with the environment, as opposed to the word “environment” itself.
You talk about public-private collaborations, Mr. Bienenstock, in terms of urban conservation. Would you see a role for rural people who have the concept of stewardship in their bones to work with their urban counterparts to perhaps present real-life experiences?
