Writer Tom Butler and world-class landscape photographer Antonio Vizcaino take readers on a visually spectacular tour of 40 protected natural areas save through private initiative by American conservationists. From California's Muir Woods to New England's Baxter State Park and beyond to Monte Leon National Park in Argentina, people from all walks of life have used their personal wealth and energy to create our state and national parks, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and private nature sanctuaries.
