Abstract:	"Hull et al. (2002) have provided an interesting snapshot of ideas about 'nature' from a sampling of those involved in the science, policy, and management of forests in southwestern Virginia. Depending on the viewpoint, 'nature' is thought to be either delicately balanced, progressively evolving, and perfect, or dynamic, inefficient, and robust. Probably an equivalent sample anywhere in forested North America would disclose similar results. These opinions, split fairly evenly across the population, are the surface expression of two contesting minds: the preservationist and the interventionist."
