“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants and animals, or collectively the land ... it implies respect for his fellow members, and so also respect for the community as such.
