Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Parks and Emergency Conservation The landscape process begins with selecting locations which do not tear up the landscape or obtrude into important views. This is. Followed by a study of the design, which endeavors to use native materials and other architectural features that will harmonize the structure with its sur roundings. The last phase of the problem is the placing of any plant materials necessary to cure unavoidable damage that may result from the construction. The range of national park landscape problems is highly interesting and diversified. It runs the gamut from dog kennels in Alaska to colonial plantations in Virginia, from adobe houses with cactus gardens in the Southwest to subarctic roadside plantings in Maine, and from lakeside hotels in Montana to hot-springs developments in Arkansas. The actual construction work, of course, devolves upon the engineers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

If you’re concerned about doing something good for the environment, Nature’s Best Hope is the blueprint you need.

And a piece of a stone dam and wooden sluice mark the site of a long-gone mill. Although slumping back into the landscape, these features speak to us if we can hear them and they can guide us to ancestral homesteads and famous sites.
