Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts between sportsmen and landowners over the issue of access to public domain lands result primarily from economic factors associated with recreational uses of these lands. This report describes the problems experienced in its management of the Piceance Creek area in Colorado and the Caliente Mountain area in California. All access roads to both areas pass over privately owned land; the owners restrict access over these private roads. Alternative arrangements that would more fairly apportion costs and benefits to landowners and sportsmen alike are evaluated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Lands: Studies in the History of the Public Domain The vast and intricate story of the creation and expansion of the public domain, the administration, distribution, and management of federal lands, runs from 1776 to the present. But the ideas and values that controlled these matters lay partly in the American colonial past, partly in legal and other institutions imported from England and the Continent. Colonial experience and needs had by the time of the Revolution created different systems for obtaining legal posses sion of land, and for describing and recording titles in the separate colonies, but in one important respect the differences between the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts systems, for example, were superficial. Men wanted and Obtained individual ownership of land, and although they may never have heard of Blackstone, what they did illustrates his declaration that There is nothing which so generally strikes the imagination and engages the affections of mankind, as the right of property; or that sole and despotic dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, to the total exclusion of the right of any other individual in the universe. It was understood and accepted that a set of words upon parchment served to convey dominion on land, or at least that it should.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Access to Public Domain Lands: Two Case Studies of Landowner-Sportsman Conflict For the past 100 years and more there has been a constant and often bitter struggle among rival users for control and use of public domain lands. The early history of the West largely is a story of conflicts between white men and Indians, cattlemen and sheepmen, stockmen and homesteaders. Mineral interests, timber operators, conservationists, and, more recently, recreationists entered the struggle. The Bureau of Land Management must not only act as a referee, but also ensure that the outcome will be in the best interests of the general public. To say that this is a difficult task would be a serious understatement. Laws and regulations governing the use and management of public lands are complicated, and often conflicting and some believe they are largely obsolete. Each Special interest group tends to equate its own welfare with that of the general public, and there are few firm legislative or administrative guidelines for identifying or measuring the public interest. This study deals with a relatively new type of conflict over the use of public domain lands. The dispute is focused on the issue of public access. Sportsmen and some other recreational users are demanding more and better access to public lands. Private landowners and certain user groups (including some recreational interests) would like to preserve the status quo. Thousands of square miles of public domain lands, scattered from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, presently are unavailable to recreational users, due to physical or legal restraints upon public access. The outcome of this struggle will determine, in large measure, how these lands will be used-and by whom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "The public lands of the western United States comprise some 450 million acres of grassland, steppe land, canyons, forests, and mountains. It's an American commons, and it is under assault as never before. Journalist Christopher Ketcham has been documenting the confluence of commercial exploitation and governmental misconduct in this region for over a decade. His revelatory book takes the reader on a journey across these last wild places, to see how capitalism is killing our great commons. Ketcham begins in Utah, revealing the environmental destruction caused by unregulated public lands livestock grazing, and exposing rampant malfeasance in the federal land management agencies, who have been compromised by the profit-driven livestock and energy interests they are supposed to regulate. He then turns to the broad effects of those corrupt politics on wildlife. He tracks the Department of Interior's failure to implement and enforce the Endangered Species Act--including its stark betrayal of protections for the grizzly bear and the sage grouse--and investigates the destructive behavior of U.S. Wildlife Services in their shocking mass slaughter of animals that threaten the livestock industry. Along the way, Ketcham talks with ecologists, biologists, botanists, former government employees, whistleblowers, grassroots environmentalists and other citizens who are fighting to protect the public domain for future generations. This Land is a colorful muckraking journey--part Edward Abbey, part Upton Sinclair--exposing the rot in American politics that is rapidly leading to the sell-out of our national heritage"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How it is that the United States—the country that cherishes the ideal of private property more than any other in the world—has chosen to set aside nearly one-third of its land area as public lands? Now in a fully revised and updated edition covering the first years of the Trump administration, Randall Wilson considers this intriguing question, tracing the often-forgotten ideas of nature that have shaped the evolution of America’s public land system. The result is a fresh and probing account of the most pressing policy and management challenges facing national parks, forests, rangelands, and wildlife refuges today. The author explores the dramatic story of the origins of the public domain, including the century-long effort to sell off land and the subsequent emergence of a national conservation ideal. Arguing that we cannot fully understand one type of public land without understanding its relation to the rest of the system, he provides in-depth accounts of the different types of public lands. With chapters on national parks, national forests, wildlife refuges, Bureau of Land Management lands, and wilderness areas, Wilson examines key turning points and major policy debates for each land type, including recent Trump Administration efforts to roll back environmental protections. He considers debates ranging from national monument designations and bison management to gas and oil drilling, wildfire policy, the bark beetle epidemic, and the future of roadless and wilderness conservation areas. His comprehensive overview offers a chance to rethink our relationship with America’s public lands, including what it says about the way we relate to, and value, nature in the United States.
