| Abstract: |
There was and continues to be concerted action and reaction by individuals and groups at the interface of rural and urban interests, centered around the ownership, use and treatment of the land, forest and waters of the Hemlock and Canadice Lakes Watershed. The City government has conducted its activities in a responsible fashion and, day after day, delivers pure water to the City. Forest land use policies and practices have created various public opinions and considerable conflict. The resolution to the conflicting uses of the land and water resources, real and perceived, on a relatively small watershed in a highly populated and regulated state, is a microcosm of the forces working for their particular objectives in a democratic society. |
