Evergreen photographer and author
Mike Strunk has put together a wonderful collection of photographs and related history of lands west of Denver that have been preserved from development -- many in perpetuity! In addition to hundreds of spectacular photos, the 12 x 12 coffee-table book - Portraits of Preservation - features players behind the scenes responsible for the protection of these scenic lands, especially a number of landowners whose love for and life on the land make for stories worth reading.
The organizations featured include Denver Mountain Parks, Jefferson County Open Space, Mountain Area Land Trust, and Colorado State Parks. It's the most beautiful representation of protected landscapes just west of Denver that exists! Five stars for sure!
