This is a wonderful note. I would be happy to make this happen. Thank you for the comment and bit of history. I remember the cards well and have saved them as a bit of ranch history and remembrance of my Grandfather and the many people he allowed to enjoy this special place.

Comment on A victory for the orange (and green) by Joe Basralian

Thanks for the great work. It’s perfectly consistent with the political mood in the nation to vote for open space because many people intuitively realize it’s a GOOD INVESTMENT. The problem many people have with Bush and Obama’s spending is that they see it as just that– spending — without the high returns we get from investing in our land

Comment on The “tail” end of Land&People by Bill Poole

I’m sorry, Lacy, but our model release agreement with the dog known as “Fido” stipulates that we can neither confirm nor deny that assertion. Let’s just say that this does not seem like an unlikely name for a canine of his stature.

Isn’t Fido’s real name Maximus?

Comment on Pleasure House Point – a conservation narrative by Grace

Probably too late to get into the conversation, but Bill Poole is absolutely right in saying that an urban tract like Pleasure House Point does not fall into the same appraisal criteria that applies to outlying land. Apples and oranges.

I’m not sure how anyone could compare the “cost-effectiveness” of conservation projects without getting into some very complicated and subjective areas, Jim. Certainly if land is cheaper, for whatever reason, more of it can be conserved for any given amount of money. But there is also a value side to the equation that includes the quantifiable and unquantifiable benefits of the project. In this instance, the Virginia Beach community demonstrated the value it places on the project by stepping up with a healthy portion of the funds.
