Thank you very much.
That's a good question. Do I think there can be a balance? I think the answer is yes. I think we are out of balance in many areas right now. The work that it will take to bring that back into balance will have to focus on restoration, on the groundwork of putting back some of the ecological goods, services, and values that healthy watersheds, as an example, provide.
There are also areas that are in relatively good condition and/or not degraded right now, which you could balance with an approach to keep it in that condition and status. I think there's absolutely that opportunity.
Some of the incentives that you would have to use, obviously, are payments to landowners for the purposes of water storage and grassland filtering. Some of the payments that you would pay to a landowner for the purposes of keeping existing good habitats, and grass—where it is—native habitats, and native prairies, again could include an incentive base, such as a conservation easement, short-term agreements for 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years and/or in perpetuity. It all affects the valuation of the land price that you're willing to pay and what the landowner is willing to accept.
