A practical, problem-based study of conservation and land use for older students that links theory to real-world action.

The book presents a two-part approach: first, it builds a foundation in conservation and land use, drawing on authentic information and recognized agencies. Second, it guides students through problem-focused activities, using direct observation and field trips to connect concepts with local conditions. The material is designed around Southwest contexts but can be adapted to local situations and broader regional or national perspectives.

Readers will find a structured plan for student exploration, including questions to guide inquiry, suggested surveys, and ways to combine science, social studies, and civic learning. The edition emphasizes current relevance—referencing laws, agencies, and data sources about soil, water, vegetation, and land management.

How to frame land-use questions and gather relevant data from diverse sources
Methods for student surveys, community study, and field experiences
Planning and evaluating land-use problems at individual, group, and policy levels
Practical guidance for teachers to organize a problem-based study in various subjects

Ideal for teachers and students exploring conservation, land use, and how communities manage natural resources.
