Synopsis

This is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to protecting the natural, historic, scenic, and agricultural resources of a rural community. The authors show how to organize a conservation effort, inventory available resources, pass effective new laws, set up land trusts, take advantage of federal programmes, and change public attitudes. This revised and updated second edition reports on changes in conservation over the previous eight years and adds a chapter on making economic development compatible with rural conservation. It includes new case studies, more than 50 new illustrations, and a section on heritage tourism. The detailed case studies document a variety of successful - and often innovative - conservation efforts by residents of rural communities throughout the USA.
