Sprawl And Conservation: Searching For A Middle Ground

A landowner of a large wilderness area "plans to develop this land selectively, saying that it will be better protected as a private retreat for affluent, conservation-minded people like himself than as a state park... This plan reflects a growing effort across the country to carve out a middle ground between traditional land conservation and the kind of urban sprawl embodied by McMansions and strip malls. During the past decade, architects and developers have begun to cluster houses in smaller areas with more trees and nature areas."
