Synopsis

The story of conservation as told by local government and private land trusts in California. It describes the extent to which communities have protected their landscapes and draws lessons for disseminating successful preservation strategies across the country. Using archival research, in-depth interviews with open space advocates in local government and private land trusts, and a telephone survey of over 4000 California residents, Daniel Press describes land preservation efforts pursued by California communities and explains why some have succeeded better than others. "Saving Open Space" concludes with policy recommendations based on lessons learned from the preservation success stories.
