When couples inherit land and can't agree on conservation vs use

My wife and I inherited 40 acres of old-growth forest from her grandmother and we can't agree on what to do with it — she wants to preserve it exactly as it is and I think we should selectively harvest some timber to pay for conservation of the rest, and every conversation about it turns into an argument about values we didn't know we disagreed on.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're discovering that stewardship decisions reveal fundamental differences in how you value preservation versus practical use.
