RSSLandscape Auction To Benefit White River Watershed
Thursday, 07/08/10 12:44pm
Auctions have been used for centuries to sell everything from cattle to priceless art. But auctioning off something as intangible asa "landscape" is a relatively new idea. In 2007, the Netherlands held the world's first landscape auction as a way to attract private funding for conservation and landscape protection. And next month the non-profit White River Partnership will hold the U.S.'s first ever landscape auction. The group works to improve the long-termhealth of the White River and its watershed in central Vermont.
Mary Russ is the executive director of the White River Partnership. She spoke with VPR's Jane Lindholm about the auction.
