Download or read book Conservancy written by Richard Brewer and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land trusts, or conservancies, protect land by owning it. Although many people are aware of a few large land trusts--The Nature Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land, for instance--there are now close to 1,300 local trusts, with more coming into being each month. American land trusts are diverse, shaped by their missions and adapted to their local environments. Nonetheless, all land trusts are private, non-profit organizations for which the acquisition and protection of land by direct action is the primary or sole mission. Nonconfrontational and apolitical, land trusts work with willing land owners in voluntary transactions. Although land trusts are the fastest-growing and most vital part of the land conservation movement today, this model of saving land by private action has become dominant only in the past two decades. Brewer tells why the advocacy model--in which private groups try to protect land by promoting government purchase or regulation-- in the 1980s was eclipsed by the burgeoning land trust movement. He gives the public a much-needed primer on what land trusts are, what they do, how they are related to one another and to other elements of the conservation and environmental movements, and their importance to conservation in the coming decades. As Brewer points out, unlike other land-saving measures, land trust accomplishments are permanent. At the end of a cooperative process between a landowner and the local land trust, the land is saved in perpetuity. 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 persons 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. Throughout, the book is enriched by historical narrative, analysis of successful land trusts, and information on the how and why of protecting land, as well as Brewer's intimate knowledge of ecological systems, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness of 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Earth says, God has placed me here. The Earth says that God tells me to take care of the Indians on this earth; the Earth says to the Indians that stop on the Earth, feed them right. . . . God says feed the Indians upon the earth.” —Cayuse Chief Young Chief, Walla Walla Council of 1855 America has always been Indian land. Historically and culturally, Native Americans have had a strong appreciation for the land and what it offers. After continually struggling to hold on to their land and losing millions of acres, Native Americans still have a strong and ongoing relationship to their homelands. The land holds spiritual value and offers a way of life through fishing, farming, and hunting. It remains essential—not only for subsistence but also for cultural continuity—that Native Americans regain rights to land they were promised. Beth Rose Middleton examines new and innovative ideas concerning Native land conservancies, providing advice on land trusts, collaborations, and conservation groups. Increasingly, tribes are working to protect their access to culturally important lands by collaborating with Native and non- Native conservation movements. By using private conservation partnerships to reacquire lost land, tribes can ensure the health and sustainability of vital natural resources. In particular, tribal governments are using conservation easements and land trusts to reclaim rights to lost acreage. Through the use of these and other private conservation tools, tribes are able to protect or in some cases buy back the land that was never sold but rather was taken from them. Trust in the Land sets into motion a new wave of ideas concerning land conservation. This informative book will appeal to Native and non-Native individuals and organizations interested in protecting the land as well as environmentalists and government agencies.

Download or read book Why Environmental Lawyers Should Know and Care About Land Trusts and Their Private Land Conservation Transactions written by Federico Cheever and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past decade, traditional environmental lawyers -- advocates for the public interest, governments, and regulated parties -- have watched, with mixed feelings, the dramatic rise of a distinct form of land conservation. Private, non profit land trusts appear to be everywhere. Traditional environmental lawyers have not always known how to respond to the rapid growth in the number of these private or quasi-private land conservation transactions. The cultural differences between traditional environmental lawyers and the land trust community contribute to the atmosphere of skepticism. Environmental litigators and regulatory lawyers take uncompromising positions (their clients' positions) on specific projects, regulatory actions, and agency decisions. These positions provide the foundation for most of the work they do. Members of the land trust community, while just as committed to environmental protection, generally avoid taking positions on specific projects, actions, or decisions for fear of alienating the private landowners with whom they work, or the government agencies or other private organizations with whom they may wish to collaborate in the future. In this brief article, we suggest that the skepticism with which environmental lawyers tend to view land trusts is unfounded, and that environmental lawyers stand to gain much from engaging more actively with the land trust community. Under the assumption that lack of understanding is often an impediment to interaction, we begin with a brief description of the history of the development of the land trust community and their most common land protection tool- the conservation easement. We then examine the usual criticisms levied against land trusts and their land protection activities by environmental lawyers and academics. Finally, we discuss why environmental lawyers should view land trusts as allies rather than possible opponents, and we argue that environmental lawyers should take an active role in coordinating regulatory measures for land protection with the voluntary, incentive based tools employed by land trusts.
