GP5. Responsible Stewardship of our Resources /

5.13Protect Open Space

Progress

Coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions on opportunities to protect open space areas within the St. Vrain Valley Planning Area with unique natural features, such as, but not limited to: wildlife habitat, wetlands, rare plant communities, wetlands, lakes, ponds, and streams.

Open spaces improve both Longmont's and our neighboring communities' quality of life: They preserve native ecosystems, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and viewsheds that would otherwise be lost; they foster stewardship, support local agriculture, and provide urban shaping buffers around our City.
