Open Space

Open space areas are undeveloped landscapes – green belts, scenic corridors, natural areas – and provide for recreation and education, as well as enhance the well being of humans and the natural environment. Conserving undeveloped land increases the value of an area for a population by maintaining a region’s scenic quality, ecological benefits to animals, plants, soil and water quality, and often collaboration with public landowners insures access to the public. Inland Mendocino Land Trust’s primary goal is to acquire lands that preserve habitat, natural resources and may increase public access.
