Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal.
Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve that capacity. As Kansans, we enjoy a rich natural inheritance of land, water and energy. Our well-being depends upon the wise use of these gifts, for they are the sources of our prosperity. We can no longer afford to squander top soil and fossil fuels or to pollute our water supplies. That is why the Kansas Natural Resource Council searches for ways to balance our demands with our available resources.
