Open Space And Trails Mission Statement

The Open Space and Trails staff is committed to:
Enhancing the community’s quality of life by acquiring open space to preserve water resources, wildlife, agricultural uses, and unique geographic features so that every resident is able to have a positive connection with the natural environment.
Creating a comprehensive network of trails so that every citizen has the opportunity to walk and bicycle to open space, parks, neighborhoods, schools, commercial centers, and public facilities throughout the community.
