Abstract: Environmental preservation and economic development are two issues that divide the rural community. Rural areas are often viewed as expressing anti-environmental and pro-growth attitudes; this study calls into question this latter assumption. The findings suggest that environmental and economic values are equally salient in the rural value structure. The rural development professional must possess accurate knowledge of environmental concerns.
