A tradition of caring for our natural resources <br />1 <br />Farmers and ranchers, and many <br />Homeowners, are making progress in <br />natural resource protection.You can <br />join their conservation tradition, right in your <br />own backyard. <br />There are nearly 2 billion acres of land in the <br />United States. About 70 percent of that land <br />is privately owned, and care of that land is in <br />the hands of those who live and work on it. <br />Most of that land, 1.4 billion acres, is man- <br />aged by farmers and ranchers. More than 92 <br />million acres of land —an area the size of <br />California —is privately developed and much <br />of it is tended by homeowners. <br />Farmers and ranchers use conservation plans <br />to help them apply practices that meet their <br />production objectives and protect soil, water, <br />air, plant, and animal resources.You may want <br />to develop a plan for your own backyard to <br />help you apply conservation measures that fit <br />your needs. Or maybe, for now, you'd like to <br />try just a few of the activities in this book. <br />We hope you'll enjoy these activities that <br />bring beauty and diversity to your yard — <br />whether your "yard" is measured in acres, <br />feet, or flower pots. We know you'll feel good <br />about improving the environment and joining <br />the conservation tradition of America's farm- <br />ers and ranchers. <br />2 <br />
