The Nature of Place: Land Art/Land Use

Land Heritage Institute, The Nature of Place: Land Art/Land Use, http://landheritageinstitute.org/

from their website read how Artistic, Archeological, Cultural, Educational, Environmental, Historical and Recreational use and awareness honors our relationship to the Earth we stand on. A listing of other similar
land trusts around the country can be found with a Google search "heritage land trusts"

In the area I live we have the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust. http://www.coastallandtrust.org/pages/public_funding.html
"Funding land conservation through public sources is often a win-win situation. Landowners are financially compensated by selling conservation agreements or through the direct sale of their land, while the general public benefits from the enhancement of water quality, increasing recreation opportunities, and preserving the natural and historical character of their community."


"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." --Ancient Indian Proverb
