In 1988 rampant development on Long Island threatened to destroy the rare ecosystem at the region’s core: the pine barrens. Then a small band of local nature lovers stepped in to stop them. Saving Long Island tells the exciting story of the bare-knuckled battle that followed-told by the man at the center of the ring. You’ll see the stormy public meetings, the backroom brinksmanship, the media brawls. Meet the arrogant millionaire developers, the oily politicians, and the unforgettable characters who stood up to them. An inspiring story in the tradition of Erin Brockovich and Norma Rae, Saving Long Island also presents an irreverent, real-life guide to winning tactics for grass-roots activists.
