cowherd/cowboy
The term "buttero" means cowherd or cowboy and is used in the Maremma area of Tuscany. Feel free to adapt, as "land of cowherds and pine groves" is not very inspiring in English, IMHO.

cowherd (of the Maremma)
I suppose you are translating a text on Maremma, in Tuscany...

butteri
I would leave it, explaining what it means the first time it appears in the text - especially if it is a tourist text (I'm not sure about the field "Plumbing Tools" in your question...)
Note from asker:
| I didn't notice the extra field until you pointed it out to me... had to laugh!!! plumbing is not as romantic as the Tuscany :) Yes, it's tourism... |
