However, there was at that time no resource available to guide officials as they implemented the voters' mandates. The Conservation Program Handbook was written in response to numerous requests to The Trust for Public Land for guidance from community leaders who wanted to know how to effectively conserve their iconic landscapes. The Conservation Program Handbook is a manual that provides all of the information--on a broad spectrum of topics--that conservation professionals are likely to require. It compiles and distills advice from professionals involved in successful conservation efforts across the country, including a list of "best practices" for the most critical issues conservationists can expect to face. 606 $aConservation of natural resources$zUnited States$xPlanning 606 $aNatural areas$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aConservation projects (Natural resources)$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aLocal government$zUnited States 615 0$aConservation of natural resources$xPlanning. 615 0$aNatural areas$xGovernment policy 615 0$aConservation projects (Natural resources)$xManagement. 615 0$aLocal government 676 $a333.720973 700 $aTassel$b Sandra$01656464 712 02$aTrust for Public Land (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819194203321 996 $aThe conservation program handbook$94009366 997 $aUNINA
