"There is a story almost totally unknown outside the West, but urgently discussed every day now in the western press: the story of a steadily growing number of local agreements among western environmentalists, ranchers, loggers, miners, and recreationists about how the public land or natural resources should be managed in their particular river drainage or their ecosystem. The emergence of this indigenous form of western problem-solving is almost precisely what Wallace Stegner had predicted and urged when he spoke of the West 'outliving its origins' by learning lessons of cooperation." -Daniel Kemmis, Director of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West
