Background Land use policies, both official and
unofficial, determine the quality and distribution of natural
resources. Counties regulate land use through zoning ordinances and easements and these
regulations do have a significant impact on natural resources for
property owners and neighbors. Individual landowners also make decisions about their land use, such
as wildlife hunting, timber management, and cattle stocking rates that
directly affect the natural resources found within their land and that of their neighbors. The ability of
state wildlife managers to regulate wildlife is limited by their lack
of knowledge about what is happening at the local level. For example, agricultural damage due to deer is a
function of not only of what crops a landowner plants and their deer
management policies, but also the deer management policies of adjoining landowners. The smaller
the land parcel size, the less a single landowner can effectively
manage wildlife, invasive plant, and disease species.
