Reviews

“These essays go beyond student exercises or scholarly publications written for academic colleagues. They should be read by concerned citizens because they offer insight into how environmental problems are confronted and thus can shape our responses in the future.”
–Prof. John Omohundro SUNY Potsdam

"[The author] has thoughtfully documented the historical evolution of this process and those chapters can inform today's debates ranging from the U.S. Forest Service's interest in collaborative stewardship agreements to large scale conservation efforts like Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y)." -- Prof.Seth M. Wilson, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies

"... a Thoroughly researched exploration of environmental and socio-economics issues in northern New York State. ... [The author] is honest in their presentation and provides a cautioned, at times, skeptical, interpretation of their value." -- Prof. Robert S. Hedin, University of Pittsburgh
