Book Description
This book celebrates Laguna Beach and its greenbelt, which have been designated a historic American landscape by the National Park Service, Department of Interior, and presents the nomination documentation that is housed in the Library of Congress. It is dedicated to the generations of devoted people responsible for shaping the citys character and traditions. Lagunas mountains and dramatic canyons, coastal cliffs, and ever-changing ocean views attracted plein air artists and others beginning early in the last century, and from the beginning, its residents were dedicated to protecting and embellishing it. The fortunate confluence of geography, history, and community resolve has resulted in the preservation, in the face of the surrounding suburban sprawl, of an authentic small town and a vast area of protected open space that provides breathing room for all of us.

Book Description
Everyone loves Laguna Beach; at least authors Foster J. Eubank and Gene Felder do, as well as everyone they know. It has long been an art colony, as indicated by city signs that read "Home of the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters." The city's 23,000 residents work to protect its small-town atmosphere. Laguna Beach is now surrounded by 22,000 acres of protected natural open space that was originally part of Mexican land grants. In this volume, the authors show that much has changed, while much remains the same.

Book Description
Relatively small in size among California's counties at 789 square miles, Orange County supports one of the nation's largest county populations: three million. Yet this county is surprisingly rich in its diversity of natural elements. Bounded all around by a spectacular seacoast and rambling hills, it contains a portion of Cleveland National Forest, including two mile-high mountain peaks. Orange County has numerous canyons, dramatic in looks and legend, as well as the Santa Ana River with its seasonal branching tributaries. Yet extensive acreage within this forward-looking county is being permanently preserved as wilderness parks, preserves, and conservancies as governmental and private agencies respond to the ecological challenges of the future.

Book Description
This book is an activist document. The accomplished photography of a sumptuous landscape may obscure the fact that The Laguna Wilderness consists of equal parts of the three most powerful currents of nature photography over the past half century--art, political advocacy, and love of nature. Ron Chilcote deploys beauty as a political weapon. The use of photography as a preservationist tool is a tradition deeply rooted in the western United States. The opening of the West arrived in parallel with the emergence of photography. Carleton Watkins's photographs of the Yosemite Valley, for example, are widely credited with influencing Congress and President Lincoln to set it aside in 1864 as "inalienable for all time." When Chilcote and his wife first settled in Laguna Beach, California, in 1972, the hills and beaches, canyons and woodlands of the San Joaquin Hills were threatened by rapid population growth and rapacious development. To the battle against these changes Chilcote brought commitment, political involvement, and, eventually, a camera. In this book he pursues the beauty of the Laguna Wilderness not just for his own wonder but as a way of transforming these little-known wild lands into treasured places deserving preservation. The images are gorgeous--old-growth oaks in golden light, the still mirror of the Laguna Lakes, autumn mist in the canyons--but, more than this, they are intended to change things. Chilcote provides a brief history of the wilderness surrounding Laguna Beach and goes on to tell the inspiring story of the successful local effort to have it set aside as permanent open space. His work at once celebrates the beauty of wildness and serves as an example for people everywhere who see nature vanishing around them and want to do something about it.
