 2004 Open Space Plan (1.5 MB pdf file) for Parks, Trails, Natural Areas and Working Resource Lands focuses on managing and caring for the county's 25,000+ acres of valuable open space lands and resources and 200 miles of trails for generations to come. It clearly defines the county as primarily a regional open space provider and a facilitator of recreation programs related to the open space system. The county will remain the local provider for sites located in rural areas, but will transfer to cities those sites located within their urban growth areas. |
