Contents Notes | Green power and Land's Sake -- Market gardening -- Livestock and grass -- Tree crops -- The town forest -- Reclaiming the commons. "This book is a lively account of a community working to combat suburban sprawl, to protect a large part of the landscape as common land, and to enjoy the land productively in an ecologically sustainable way, Based on the practical experience of one New England town, the book urges suburban environmentalists to go beyond preserving open space to actively engaging people with the places where they live."--Jacket. |
