A Field Guide to Conservation Finance provides essential advice on how to tackle the universal obstacle to protecting private land in America: lack of money.

She covers a range of subjects including transfer fees, voluntary surcharges, seller financing, revolving funds, and Project Related Investmprograms (PRIs).
