Quality Hunting Ecology-Landowners and Hunters Working Together (This session was formerly titled “Conservation and Working Forests.”) A land ethic, as first articulated by Aldo Leopold, calls for landowners to assume higher levels of personal responsibility for improving the health of the land community. Quality Hunting Ecology is a new paradigm in wildlife management that allies landowners and deer hunters in a management framework that can result in improved forest watershed health, reduced management costs, better return on investment, enhanced wildlife conditions, and expanded recreational opportunities. This pesentation will describe Quality Hunting Ecology and evaluate results of implementation on a mixed ownership working forest in Pennsylvania. Kevin McAleese is Vice President and Program Director for Sand County Foundation's Community Based Conservation Network. He has been with the Foundation since January 1995. He coordinates a learning network among community based natural resource management practitioners in North America and Africa, supporting innovative, grass roots strategies for enhancing the sustainability of ranches, farms, forests, and marine resources.
