The development of agriculture has caused rapid changes to the
rural environment. Today, with growing awareness and concern for
environmental issues, there is a movement to stem further damage to
the countryside and replace some of the values which have been
lost. Voluntary non-profit organisations which own and manage land
for countryside conservation are playing an increasingly important
role in this movement. These are called CARTs Conservation, Amenity
and Recreation Trusts. Countryside in Trust explores the principles
behind this movement and investigates the activities of the wide
range of organisations involved, both large and small, including
the National Trust, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds,
and the Scottish Tree Trust. The origins and experiences of CARTs
are traced in a series of chapters which examine the different
types of organisation, their land management activities and
finances, and their close relationship with government agencies at
all levels. Finally, the authors describe the role of public policy
towards CARTs and assess the implications for the future. This is
the first book to examine the large numbers of landholding
environmental and amenity trusts in the UK, and is essential
reading for students, voluntary organisations, conservation groups,
land owners and local authorities.
