Throughout our history, The Open Space Council has played an integral role in:
In addition to restoring and maintaining the region's already dedicated open spaces, the organization's ongoing work includes identifying areas that can be acquired and set aside for public use, and discouraging improper land use and detrimental development. Acting as a Land Trust, we raise and provide funds for new open space projects, offering land owners an alternative to development. Through environmental and community building events such as Operation Clean Stream and Operation Wild Lands, The Open Space Council seeks to raise awareness about the importance of land and water conservation, and the value of clean water. We recognize our region is fortunate to have designated national, state and local parks as well as other open spaces. We work hard to protect this great privilege. Our Mission Building on a legacy of knowledge and experience, The Open Space Council works independently and collaboratively to conserve and sustain land, water and other natural resources throughout the St. Louis Region. |
