Abstract
  • The disappearance of prime farmlands, forests, open spaces, and the lack of a cohesive land use policy which protects natural resources is creating a strong grassroots initiative for land conservation: people are organizing to take control of local land. The tool they are using is a local land trust — a nonprofit corporation that enables a group of people to manage land for common uses. Land trusts are a simple, privately organized technique for acquiring and managing land in the public interest.
