LAND STEWARDSHIP VS OWNERSHIP

Land stewardship is the practice of carefully managing land usage
to ensure that natural systems are maintained and enhanced
for future generations. - www.landstewardship.org/learnabout.asp .

Early 1970's - Your narrator attended a meeting with landowners
whose properties were said to be polluting nearby oyster beds. They said,
"We own this land, butt out." I replied that I considered it presumptuous
to claim unregulated ownership of any part of this planet, and as a landowner,
I intended to be a responsible steward. Thirty years elapsed before I could
actively undertake measures to dedicate my remaining land, for truly
beneficial uses, now and in the future.

Quarter-Century Later - Ebook, "WILDEGEEST! A Search for Last Places"
describes how my farmland was poisoned by tenant farmers, steeped in
chemicals for growing cotton, while I was away. Much of the nearby land
had been taken over by developers. There was an obvious obligation to protect
nearby residents from uncontrolled toxic chemicals.

Pesticide-free EarthWise Farm was started and then became part of
WILDEGEEST FOUNDATION where its application, as a producer of ingredients
required for longer, healthier lives, is closely associated with the long range
research efforts of the foundation: - To promote mature lifestyles for persons
over fifty to encourage an active citizen's role throughout their aging process,
and to further investigate fish oils and the proper use of fishery products,
as an essential part of the whole.

NO CUTOFF DATE - Come see! How the land has benefitted from our soil
improvement efforts, several hundred "hedgerow" trees have doubled in size,
and the buildings are designed for present and future investigations.
