Learn about the communities’ challenges, successes, and methods and tools for protecting these precious natural places. Books will be for sale.

“In these troubling times of climate change and biodiversity loss, Harrington’s book is an uplifting testament to how individuals and communities working together to protect what they cherish can make an incalculable difference.”
