Land Ownership and Property Rights in the Adirondack Park of New York, USA
Land ownership in the United States is understood as a bundle of sticks representing rights to sell, lease, bequeath, mine, subdivide, develop, and so forth. The right of exclusion allows owners to prevent others from exercising a right of access. Historically, access and then exclusion contributed to a sense of self-determination and personal freedom in the American landscape. Governing agencies reserve four rights for their use: condemnation, r…
Lessons for Service Learning in Rural Areas
The literature about service learning in planning education contains a wealth of insights from practitioners at large research universities in urban settings. Very little has been written about experiences in rural areas. The Environmental Studies Department at St. Lawrence University has experimented with several strategies for service learning in rural northern New York. As a type of service learning, the research seminar offers several advanta…
Drowning Voices and Drowning Shoreline
The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was a massive restructuring of the St. Lawrence River bordering Canada and the United States. The river had always been used for human transportation, and a shipping canal for commercial vehicles was constructed and enhanced throughout the nineteenth century. However, the river grew increasingly incapable of handling an international fleet composed of larger boats during the twentieth century. Proposals t…
Modern Amish farming as ecological agriculture
Critics of industrial agriculture and advocates of ecological agriculture have cited Amish farming as a model of stewardship and sustainability. Amish farming in St. Lawrence County, New York, embodied ecological agriculture in some respects but not others. In comparison with non‐Amish neighbors, Amish farms were smaller in scale, more diverse, and less integrated into the market economy. On the other hand, use of fertilizers and pesticides for c…
Teaching Ecosystem Management and Sustainability
At first glance, a refuge proposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) appeared to be an effective approach for protecting the habitat of migratory waterfowl. Under careful scrutiny, the proposal was predicated on false assumptions about development pressure and affected landowners exhibited a lifestyle reflecting environmental values. Residents promoted wildlife and utilized renewable resources on their land; they practiced ec…
A practical and theoretical assessment of sustainable development‐a case study
Sustainable development meets the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability to meet future needs. Proposals on sustainable development were evaluated for the Akwesasne Reservation of the St. Regis Mohawks in North America. Resources for aquaculture, sweet‐grass basket‐making, maple sugaring, and fallow‐deer farming can be managed on a renewable basis. Sustainable development has limited congruence with other concepts o…
Mapping groundwater recharge areas for land use planning
Environmentalism and politics in the USA
Historical analyses of the environmental movement in the United States have focused on the debate between conservationists and preservationists over the use of natural resources on public lands in the 19th century. Many contemporary environmental issues, such as hazardous waste disposal, are not simply problems of resource use; they are also problems of public health. Historians of the modern environmental movement have paid little attention to d…
Positive impacts of environmental policy on business in the United States
This paper asserts that environmental policy in the United States has had several positive impacts on the business community. This viewpoint is important, because popular discussion of environmental policy generally focuses on only negative impacts for the economy. Three areas of environmental policy are examined: legislation, regulation, and government‐funded research. In each of these areas, specific examples are cited to exemplify ways in whic…
Response to congruity or contrast for man‐made features in natural‐recreation settings
This study dealt with people's responses to scenes featuring man‐made structures in natural settings. A set of 48 slides taken in various urban and state parks in the Northeast was selected and scaled by a set of judges with respect to the contrast or fittingness between the man‐made and the natural elements of the scene. The slides were then presented to a group of undergraduate students, who rated them on various evaluative semantic‐differentia…
