Description
The Equestrian Land Protection Guide is packed with step-by-step action plans for land protection written specifically for horse people. It offers practical suggestions for developing the appropriate team to make a conservation project possible, developing a manageable plan, maximizing the resources (both financial and manpower), negotiating various types of agreements, building land owner relations, and planning for the future to preserve what has been achieved.

We have followed ELCR's recommendations to the letter, from organizing the Friends of Callithea Farm, a nonprofit corporation, to planning and executing an option to purchase the farm from a 'friendly owner' who is besieged by developer's offers. We have drafted long term management plans which complement the objectives of the local conservation and recreation communities and preserve the integrity of the adjacent National and County Park lands...I'm glad that ELCR is out there to help to protect the future of our equestrian way of life. Thank you.
