Wise use contrasts with free-market environmentalism in that the latter is associated with libertarian political views and efforts to protect the environment through private initiatives such as land trusts; many libertarians would dispute any association of free-market environmentalism with the Wise Use movement and its goals.
Groups which the wise use movement would rather not be associated with, such as the John Birch Society, the Unification Church, and the Lyndon LaRouche organization, have sometimes attempted to hitch themselves to the wise use cause, and hold similar views on environmental issues to the wise users.
It is the county seat of Wise County.

 Book Reviews - Wise Women - Reflections of Teachers of Midlife.
One theme which remains constant throughout is that these women freely chose the education profession and clearly understand the importance of this lifelong work.
Wise Women will appeal to anyone, male or female, who has an interest in the educational experience from the instructor's perspective and should be in any educator's professional development library.
An interesting element of Wise Women is that very few of the contributors focused on the curriculum they teach, but rather discussed at length the process, the gaining of patience, the deepening understanding of themselves and their students.

In late 1918, an opposition faction tried to unseat then-president Wood and his cronies; but was unable to gain access to the membership list needed to collect proxy votes.
Henry Woodhouse’s career as a publicist for the nascent aviation industry was over, his reputation irrevocably shattered and his past crimes made public.
All he had left to his name were letters written to him by famous names in aviation (people who would no longer acknowledge him), piles of letterhead stationary of marginalized organizations, and a few old contacts that still respected what he had done to promote naval aviation.

 IB Tsunami Appeal
Henry Wise Wood High School in Alberta, Canada, has been raising money for tsunami relief and has accumulated CDN$3,000. The federal government has committed to match individual donations, so a total of CDN$6,000 will be donated to tsunami relief due to the efforts of the students.
The idea caught on and another group painted recycling boxes for the school hall for redeemable bottles and cans from which the proceeds will be donated to tsunami relief for the rest of the year. Another group asked local merchants to donate snack items to sell at lunchtime - all proceeds will go to the relief efforts.
The MYP students at Henry R Clissold School in Chicago are leading a school-wide effort to raise funds for the affected region. Students from grades K to 8 donated "Change for Children" during the week of 18 January 2005.

The UFA, which formed the government of Alberta from 1921 to 1935, began before 1910 as a social movement designed to offer information and services to farming communities in the province, and to pressure governments.
As late as 1917, the UFA President and leading theorist, Henry Wise Wood, advised the body against becoming a political party, and recommended that members attempt to influence the existing parties.7
Finally, the UFA based its theory of democracy on "a natural harmony of group interests." Led by Henry Wise Wood and William Irvine, the UFA argued that co-operation would supersede competition and greed once the existing exploitative system was changed and after each group became organized and realized that co-operation was in everyone's interest.

Political parties may once have functioned as an important way of finding and developing good candidates, ensuring they had the resources to run for office, and communicating to the electorate what the candidate stood for.
