Multiple use management on Canadian publicly managed rangeland
Recently there has been increasing interest and use of public lands for activities other than grazing.There are also a number of values to society provided by these lands related to water quality, biodiversity and soil conservation, plus others.This has put increased pressure on these lands,and also increased the interest in understanding the value to society as a whole.The Canadian Community Pastures are public lands managed both for conservation and livestock production purposes.The costs covered by all users, and benefits afforded public and private interests were recently valued for these lands.It was determined that the 930,000 hectare community pasture program had an annual value of ＄ 54.9 million to all users.Thus it is clear that direct beneficiaries should pay costs associated with the financial benefit they receive, but there are public benefits which are managed for and thus can rationally be supported with public sector funds.
