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.

1999Donahue believes that it is more important to improve general land use than be concerned about wilderness areas. He encourages protecting lands on the fringe of suburbia against urban sprawl as a means of preserving local private farming. Using locally raised foods can result in better products, energy conservation, lower pollution levels, and aid climatic stability.
Donahue knows that community farms can succeed and recommends that community-owned commons be used for food production or forestry. He advocates organic methods for raising vegetables, fruits, and flowers, including modern techniques as well as older ones.
Brian Donahue is well-bred, educated.
