	Wise use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 views on environmental issues similar to those of the Wise Users.
		There have been instances where the appearance of Wise Use speakers in a town, especially the activities of the aforementioned fringe groups, was followed by violent attacks on local environmental activists, burnings in effigy, or by rhetoric voiced by local citizens that all environmentalists "should be lined up and shot" (Helvarg, 1994).

		Using letter-writing campaigns, protests, petitions, news-letters, and a variety of other grassroots organizing techniques, honed ironically enough by environmentalists over the last two decades, they are united in their devotion to an anti-government, "don't tread on me" philosophy and their opposition to environmentalism.

	"Wise Use" in the White House - September/October 2004 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club
		Fifteen years ago the anti-environmental "wise use" movement made a splash with its talk of timber wars, threats to shoot "jackbooted" park rangers and resource managers, and attacks on grassroots environmental activists.
		Wise use arose in 1988, combining property-rights activists with elements of the timber, mining, oil, and off-road-vehicle industries and a smattering of Reagan administration leftovers.
		But he was also president of the Conservation Fund, a "non-membership, non-advocacy" land preservation organization, so wise use considered him a "land-grabber" aligned with "the Rockefeller Family Foundation and their financing of the environmental left," according to Chuck Cushman of the American Land Rights Association.

	Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Wise Use makes the public pay for political campaigns that benefit polluters, developers, and the resource extraction industries such as mining, grazing and timber.
		The middle level of Wise Use is typically populated by small lumber mill owners, trucking firm operators, realtors, developers, cattlemen, mine operators, and lobbyists for industry groups.
		The most commonly shared value of the Wise Use groups is their determination overturn or weaken environmental laws and open up public and private lands for unrestricted development and exploitation.

	Wise Use Movement - SourceWatch
		The so-called "Wise Use" movement is an industry-front anti-environmentalist organization founded by Ron Arnold in the late 1980s, primarily dealing with timber and mining issues in the western US.
		Wise Use proponents were buffeted by Bush's defeat and by media exposure of the movement's founders' connections to the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church network (tainted by charges of cultism and theocratic neo-fascism), but the movement has quickly rebounded.

	Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Resourcism: An Ideological Analysis of the Wise Use Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Wise users maintain that the right of the individual American citizen or corporation to pursue economic self-interest in the use of land, free from the arbitrary exercise of power by the state, is a constitutionally protected right of the American people that the courts should protect from abuse by local, state and federal governments.
		This implies that the wise use movement is a nationalistic, parochial and ethnocentric movement.
		Moreover, wise use groups argue against state power and regulation, particularly in areas that are shown to serve the public good, e.g., environmental regulations, and as a result they run the risk of losing their credibility as public interest organizations.

	Wise Use In Minnesota
		Groups calling themselves members of the Wise Use movement represent landowners, loggers, off-road vehicle users, miners and other individuals who are often at odds with legislation enacted to protect and preserve public lands.
		The Wise Use movement, while giving lip-service to the idea that we must be good stewards of the earth and that natural resources are finite, actually supports Arnold's notion that technology will be our savior, and that the whole world can be brought up to Western living standards.
		Some of the "negative influences of environmentalism on human life" that are targets of the Wise Use movement are landmark laws such as the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act, both of which have had measurable positive impacts on human life (as well as fish, plant and animal life).

	WHAT'S OLD AND WHAT'S NEW ABOUT THE WISE USE MOVEMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This paper examines the Wise Use movement as to whether it represents a new political phenomenon or simply a recurrence of reactionary Western land revolts such as the Sagebrush Rebellion of the late 1970s and early 80s.
		We conclude that the Wise Use Movement is a desperate effort to defend the hegemony of the cultural and economic values of the agricultural and extractive industries of the rural West.
		The best prospects for Wise Use are for a national victory of the Republican Party in 1996, a Republican party consisting of a similar coalition to that which lifted Ronald Reagan to victory in 1980.

		Five catchments were used as demonstration sites to develop and test a range of techniques from public participation through to the sustainability appraisals of floodplain management options.
		They are useful both for people wanting to undertake this kind of work on the ground, and for decision makers who are considering policy reform that affects floodplain management.
