Last Chance landscapes - A Last Chance Landscape can be a scenic vista, a swath of productive farmland, a river corridor, an historic urban neighborhood, or a village downtown.  The common thread is a special setting that is locally treasured for its natural beauty or distinctive character.

A Last Chance Landscape also faces some kind of threat:  residential sprawl, a commercial strip invasion, homogenous franchises, billboard blight, a new highway, inappropriately sited cell towers, ridgeline development, or other actions that could transform the landscape and destroy its scenic beauty.
