Abstract Novel ecosystems are places where a return to previously observed ecosystem state is unlikely. In arid grasslands, such transformations caused by legacies of land overgrazing or changes in connectivity. Transformed persist due uncertain climate futures other anthropogenic effects. Although novel often provide valuable services, public managers have given relatively little attention the idea that effective stewardship may require assemblages people. To address this gap, we examine whether management partnerships involve agricultural and wildlife interests restoration sufficiently attuned stakeholders invested retaining unbuilt environment– open spaces. We use qualitative approaches analyze perceptions cultural services (CES) southern New Mexico landscape. Next, responses spatial interviewing exercises focused on relational values landscape related landscape-level patterns. Results offer insight into why thinking about when service bundling lead creative tension between Restoration Partners Open Space Stakeholders. Primarily, comment negative impact recreation can land. Yet Stakeholders envision recreationalists as key steward ecological trajectory Relational value mapping results reveal expressed among similar ecologically but hold incommensurate economic perceptions.
