This book was released on 2016 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of in-migration, and exurban development in the Rocky Mountain west, prices for rural agricultural land have been increasing. Rural landowners are incentivized to sell or develop their land, thus fragmenting open space. Open space provides many public goods such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, scenic vistas, and various recreational opportunities. Much of the remaining open space in the continental U.S. occurs on rural agricultural land. Conservation easements (CEs) are one way to protect that privately-held open space, but the market for CEs is not well understood because CE contracts are primarily negotiated privately between land trusts and landowners. The objective of this research is to investigate what factors influence a landowner’s decision to choose a CE and the welfare benefits that a landowner gains by placing an easement on a parcel of their land. We use data gathered from the Wyoming and Colorado Landowner Survey. A random utility multinomial logit model estimates the probabilities of a landowner choosing an easement based on the attributes of the easement, and landowner. Welfare estimates, and associated confidence intervals, for the landowners’ willingness to accept were then calculated using the Krinsky and Robb procedure. Results show that landowners prefer CEs in perpetuity and that do not require public access. Landowners with a higher sense of place and community are more likely to choose an easement. We estimate that the total mean welfare benefit gained by a landowner is worth $55,217.30 per parcel of land. Our results also indicate that moving to a limited term easement (20 years) or requiring public access to the property reduces benefits by 30 or 58% respectively. Conversely, if a landowner scores one pointer higher on a scale of 1–80 on their sense of community-attachment, their welfare increases by 1.2%. These results provide important information about landowners, their preferences for CEs, and how they value different aspects of CEs that could impact transaction costs for land trusts, and public agencies conserving private lands.

This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasions by exotic grasses, particularly annuals, rank among the most extensive and intensive ways that humans are contributing to the transformation of the earth’s surface. The problem is particularly notable with a suite of exotic grasses in the Bromus genus in the arid and semiarid regions that dominate the western United States, which extend from the dry basins near the Sierra and Cascade Ranges across the Intermountain Region and Rockies to about 105° longitude. This genus includes approximately 150 species that have a wide range of invasive and non-invasive tendencies in their home ranges and in North America. Bromus species that became invasive upon introduction to North America in the late 1800’s, such as Bromus tectorum and B. rubens, have since became the dominant cover on millions of hectares. Here, millenia of ecosystem development led to landscapes that would otherwise be dominated by perennial shrubs, herbs, and biotic soil crusts that were able to persist in spite of variable and scarce precipitation. This native ecosystem resilience is increasingly coveted by land owners and managers as more hectares lose their resistance to Bromus grasses and similar exotics and as climate, land use, and disturbance-regime changes are also superimposed. Managers are increasingly challenged to glean basic services from these ecosystems as they become invaded. Exotic annual grasses reduce wildlife and livestock carrying capacity and increase the frequency and extent of wildfi res and associated soil erosion. This book uses a unique ecoregional and multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the invasiveness, impacts, and management of the large Bromus genus. Students, researchers, and practitioners interested in Bromus specifically and invasive exotics in general will benefit from the depth of knowledge summarized in the book.

Book excerpt: Private property is everywhere. Almost anywhere you walk in the United States, you will spot “No Trespassing” and “Private Property” signs on trees and fence posts. In America, there are more than a billion acres of grassland pasture, cropland, and forest, and miles and miles of coastlines that are mostly closed off to the public. Meanwhile, America’s public lands are threatened by extremist groups and right-wing think tanks who call for our public lands to be sold to the highest bidder and closed off to everyone else. If these groups get their way, public property may become private, precious green spaces may be developed, and the common good may be sacrificed for the benefit of the wealthy few. Ken Ilgunas, lifelong traveler, hitchhiker, and roamer, takes readers back to the nineteenth century, when Americans were allowed to journey undisturbed across the country. Today, though, America finds itself as an outlier in the Western world as a number of European countries have created sophisticated legal systems that protect landowners and give citizens generous roaming rights to their countries' green spaces. Inspired by the United States' history of roaming, and taking guidance from present-day Europe, Ilgunas calls into question our entrenched understanding of private property and provocatively proposes something unheard of: opening up American private property for public recreation. He imagines a future in which folks everywhere will have the right to walk safely, explore freely, and roam boldly—from California to the New York island, from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Independent Press Award - Conservation/Green, 2021 The only hope for successful conservation of America’s threatened, endangered, and at-risk wildlife is through voluntary, cooperative partnerships that focus on private land, where over 75% of at-risk species can be found. Private landowners form the bedrock of these partnerships, and they have a long history of rising to meet the challenge of conservation. But they can’t do it alone. This book is a guide for private landowners who want to conserve wildlife. Whether engaged in farming, ranching, forestry, mining, energy development, or another business, private working lands all have value as wildlife habitat, with the proper management and financial support. This book provides landowners and their partners with a roadmap to achieve conservation compatible with their financial and personal goals. This book introduces the art and language of land management planning as well as regulatory compliance with laws such as the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It categorizes and explains the tools used by wildlife professionals to implement conservation on private lands. Moreover it documents the multitude of federal, state, local, and private opportunities for landowners to find financial and technical assistance in managing wildlife, from working with a local NGO to accessing the $6 billion per year available through the federal Farm Bill.
