"Brewer's book, the first comprehensive treatment of land trusts, combines a historical overview of the movement with more specific information on the different kinds of land trusts that exist and the problems they face. The volume also offers a "how-to" approach for people and institutions interested in donating, selling or buying land Discusses four major national land trusts (The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land, American Farmland Trust, and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy); and gives a generous sampling of information about the activities and accomplishments of smaller, local trusts nationwide. Brewer's information on the how and why of protecting land is enriched by his intimate knowledge of ecological systems, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness on human and non-human life forms." "Conservancy is a must-read volume for people interested in land conservation - including land trust members, volunteers, and supporters - as well as anyone concerned about land use and the environment."--Jacket
