Emerging tools and institutions to conserve oak woodlands: integrating public trust and private benefits, or can we ever get paid for doing the right thing?

Abstract

This conference on "Oaks in California's Changing Landscape" is a most timely and important conference at a critical time in California. Having been born and raised in California, I have never known a time when this landscape was not changing. And, usually not for the better if you care about our natural environment, as I do. But, today it is changing at an ever-increasing rate and scale, and the forces of restoration and conservation of that natural landscape seem even more outpaced by those of development and degradation.
