"There is a great need for people to come in touch with silence, cyclic rhythms and natural beauty if they are to retain their perspective. . . . It is the intangible values of the land they need. The conservation of waters, forests, mountains, and wildlife are far more than saving terrain. It is the conservation of the human spirit which is the goal, and that is what is meant by the good life, one with the opportunity to find peace and quiet
somewhere beyond . . ."
