Abstract:

Private land trusts seek to preserve environmentally important land areas. By doing so, land trusts serve as a restraint to urban sprawl and development. To date, they have protected almost 60,000 acres of state land. Roe describes land trusts and techniques they use, such as partnerships with private buyers, to accomplish their preservation goals.
