Land Trust Stories - An In Wisconsin Special (DVD)
Source: Wisconsin Public Television
DVD: $16.95 from Wisconsin Public Television
This video, put out by Wisconsin Public Television, does a good job of showing the importance of land trusts as a way of conserving our wild places, especially those on private lands. It is especially good at showing that land in a trust is still working land, not only in nature's terms but also as managed forests, a natural classroom, etc. 30 minutes.
