Big and small, rural and urban, these green spaces represent more than a century of preservation efforts on the part of philanthropic foundations, planning professionals, state agencies, and most importantly, community-based conservation organizations. Taken together, they highlight one of the most significant advances in land stewardship in US history. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDemocratic Spaces\u003c\/i\u003e explains how these protected places came into being and what they represent for New Englanders and the nation at large. While early New Englanders worked to save local fish, timber, and game resources from outside exploitation, no land-stewardship organizations existed before the founding of the Trustees of Public Reservations in Boston in 1891. Across a century of dramatic change, New England preservationists through this and other, smaller community-based land trusts preserved open spaces for an ever-widening circle of citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: The Art of Public Improvement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIconography in Rural New England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Awakening the Preservation Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Trustees of Public Reservations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Stewardship Strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Trustees in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: The Land Trust Explosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrassroots Preservation in the 1960s and 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Reimagining Urban Spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservation in the City, 1980–\u003cbr\u003e2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Middle-Way Preservation in the Era of Ecosystem Management, 1990–\u003cbr\u003e2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52633036161304,"sku":"9781625347572","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/democratic-spaces-land-preservation-in-new-england-1850-2010-paperback-softback-9781625347572","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
