During his 5-year residency in Albuquerque (1914-1919) working for the U S Forest Service, Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, and New Mexico Game Protection Association, he advocated for cleanup and preservation of the Rio Grande and a park near what is now the Albuquerque zoo. More importantly, his words, work, and advocacy of a new land ethic have inspired many to preserve Open Space and pass the torch to future generations. We have used quotes from his works throughout this book. His landmark book A Sand County Almanac distilled his thoughts and experiences over a long career in conservation and land management.
