Let me just recommend a book for Laura. It's by Theodore Steinberg and it's titled Slide Mountain, or The Folly of Owning Nature. It doesn't cover the type of 'owning' that she refers to here, but it does answer the larger question of land rights in a world bent on change. Do we really own any part of the natural world even if we put up the nest boxes?
