This book is the first to tell the story of conservation by local government and private land trusts in California. It describes the remarkable extent to which communities have protected their landscapes and draws lessons for disseminating successful preservation strategies across the country.

"Saving Open Space" concludes with policy recommendations based on lessons learned from the preservation success stories.
