Livable Landscapes: By Chance or By Choice? explores the transformation taking place in five communities across northern New England where people are struggling with tough choices about how their community grows and changes. Along with a viewers' discussion guide and a teaching curriculum, it holds lessons for people far and wide who care about their community and the landscape that defines them, and leads us to question the legacy on the land we are leaving for those who follow.
