Will CT Have Enough Open Space in the Future?
Manage episode 406335254 series 3006693
We live in a state with a lot of open space, correct? Well, while 60% of our land is forested, much of it is privately-owned and potentially subject to development. The state legislature established a goal of setting aside 21% of the state’s land by 2023. We’re at about 16%, and an extension to that target is being developed. Land trusts play a critical role in identifying, securing, and managing open space. With climate change and the impact on biodiversity, CT Land Conservation Council Executive Director Amy Blaymore Paterson says that our past development trends could impact our future lifestyles if more land isn’t conserved fairly soon.
