State of Our Parks
When open space is protected, these natural areas are set aside and managed by various government agencies (federal, state, county, town, village), each have various rules, regulations and requirements. Recreational enjoyment, and natural (habitats, plants, wildlife and groundwater), historic, and cultural resource protection are the key reasons for the acquisition of open space.
