“To my mind conservation is fundamental. A law of survival. It involves the interdependence of all life – of plant, animal and human kind. Because man can think and plan ahead, his is the responsibility for maintaining the balance of nature. In fact, his very existence depends upon it.” ~Helen Kitchel, 1966
