The Inventory should be the conservationist's eye. Every remnant should be

definitely entrusted to a custodian--ranger, warden, game manager, chapter,

ornithologist, farmer, stockmnan, lumberjack. Every conservation meeting--

national, state, or local--should occupy itself with hearing their annual
reports. 
Every field inspector should contact these custodians--he might often learn
as 
well as teach.  I am satisfiel that thousands of enthusiastic conservationists

would be proud of such a public trust, and many would execute it with fidelity

and intelligence. 
 
Conclusion. I can see in this set-up more conservation than could be bought
with 
millions of new dollars, more coordination of bureaus than Congress can get
by 
new organization charts, more genuine contacts between factions than will
ever 
occur in the war of the irdvpots, more research than would accrue from many
gifts, 
and more public education than would accrue from an army of orators and organizers.

It is, in effect, a vehicle for putting Jay Darling' s concept of "ancestral

ranges" into action on a quicker and wider scale than could be done
by appropria- 
tions alone.
