Begun in 1941 as an outgrowth of Friends of the Land, the magazine was an attempt by editor Russell Lord to counteract - by education, information, and inspiration - the rampant abuse of soil, water, trees and rivers.
But for all its seriousness of mission, The Land was a stimulating mix of fact and charm. The Land included literature, philosophy, art, and the practical observations of farmers and conservation workers, to encourage small farmers to understand and apply conservation principles to their lands. Packed with history, humor, science, poetry, short stories, reports from other lands, letters, controversies, and anecdotes, The Land had its own complicated ecology, which we hope we have replicated in our Island Press anthology.
