Book Description
In 1979, a developer from Honolulu bought 186 acres on both sides of a small creek on the Central Oregon Coast. His plans for "Big Creek Resort" included a lodge, rustic cabins, a trading post, and two houses for the future owner/managers. Over the years, plans for the resort expanded to include two hotels, a restaurant, a conference center, tennis courts, and individual residences.Surrounded by National Forest, state parks and campgrounds, a proposed wilderness area, and miles of empty, wind-swept beaches, the property was home to elk, salmon and a small butterfly with toasty brown wings, which had just been listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Opposition to the resort -- dismissed by the developer as coming from "a bunch of hippies" -- developed quickly. Proving themselves more resourceful and persistent than the developer expected, the idealistic young activists continued their fight against the proposed destruction of a vital natural area for nearly forty years-through cycles of hope and defeat, and finally, a resolution that satisfied nearly everyone. The fight to save Big Creek will inspire all of us who struggle to make sure that people's voices are heard and that our irreplaceable natural world is protected.

Book Description
With a deep belief in partnerships for conservation, Richard C. Bartlett, Chairman of The Nature Conservancy of Texas, explores the past and ongoing efforts of individuals and groups—private, public, federal, and state—to save the best of Texas' natural landscapes and the myriad species of plants and animals they support. Drawing on some 100,000 miles of backroads travel, Bartlett vividly describes many of the areas that, through a commitment to partnerships, have already been preserved in their natural state. Fine color photographs by Leroy Williamson provide a striking visual counterpoint to the text. These words and images give well-deserved credit to the people responsible for saving some of the best of Texas. They also highlight the need to continue to join together to preserve our natural environment so that the beauty and diversity we enjoy today will be available for future generations. It is the author's hope that Saving the Best of Texas will be a catalyst in that process.
