ABSTRACT
Sustainable. Does it mean leaving resources for the next generation that are equal to or greater than those that we enjoy? Or does it mean not losing any of Leopold’s pieces (see Chapter 1)? Or using resources wisely for the greatest good in the long run as Pinchot suggested? Or restoring as much as possible to wilderness to be honored as a place of beauty and spirit as John Muir might have suggested? Clearly, sustainability, literally, is in the eye of the beholder. Equally as clear is that society is demanding more services, ecosystem services, from our forests than they ever have before.
