It is time for change – and change will be our friend. America is ready for a new vision of conservation and environmental stewardship that is based upon hope instead of fear. In order to share this vision we must first reintroduce the American consumer to the processes and the people of production and then lead – not just fight – the discussion over our environment. Those who work at the ground level in implementing society’s framework for protecting the environment are positioned at the leading edge of the changes and challenges of this discussion. That edge provides exciting opportunities and hope.

The old environmental movement was timely and necessary but failed to mature beyond a three-word vision of ‘Stop Doing That.’ That vision will not feed, clothe, and shelter the coming population and protect the environment. We need a new vision of environmentalism based upon hope instead of fear, science instead of emotion, education instead of litigation, resolution instead of conflict and employing, rather than destroying human resources.’ This new vision can and should be built where the real impacts are first felt – at the local level through County level government.

Employee retention and new employee engagement for the natural resource managing worlds of forestry, mining, fishing, ranching and farming are major issues facing large and small companies throughout the industrialized world. Generation of students have been taught that career choices that include ‘getting your hands dirty’ are somehow less than fulfilling – at least for anyone with intelligence. This wrong-headed thought process is especially dangerous for the producers that feed, clothe, and shelter humanity. Bruce Vincent addresses actions that can assist our production cultures in avoiding becoming the career choice of last resort.

”The processes of production in all natural resource fields requires consent of the public – a social license – to operate. Engaging the public that gives or withholds that consent will require rethinking the public engagement efforts in order to gain approval from a skeptical and often misinformed but rightfully concerned public. During what is now known as the ‘Timber Wars’, Bruce Vincent learned (the hard way) what can work in that public critical engagement and shares specific actionable items with the audience.
A new generation of adults and children are living in a world of echo-chambers where 200 channels of bad news and social media tell and sell stories to gain clicks and views. It is easy to see how many feel that our current social, political, economic and environmental realities are the ‘worst ever.’ Such a negative backdrop for societal decision making is a recipe for disaster. People who lack hope have a habit of making terrible decisions. Bruce Vincent addresses the ‘worst ever’ myth and offers ideas on how to assist individuals and companies in engaging the future with a foundation of hope.
