| Introduction | Land conservation has been my game for 50 years. I was raised in farm country where I now live, had a career in medicine (OB-Gyn), and served on local non-profit boards (Sierra Club, Audubon, Rivers Alliance, Salem Land Trust), was elected to the town Planning and Zoning Commission,ran unsuccessfully for Congress, and studied natural history as an amateur bird-watcher. Saving habitats and managing them for biodiversity has been the most rewarding work of my life, and has required a knowledge of the community, its land, people and politics. What I have learned may be of value to others, so this blog has been initiated to pass some of what I have learned on to those who wish to play this game to win. If you play, I hope you feel as rewarded as I have been. Driving past conserved lands that teem with wildlife, knowing that without the work of our partnerships the land would be decimated, gives a feeling of satisfaction that has no monetary equivalent. |
