What is Protect Open Space?
Bill Dvorak’s River Rafting Expeditions along with other local businesses are in partnership with The Land Trust of the Upper Arkansas to protect open space. Open space is land that is valued for natural processes and wildlife, agricultural and forest production, aesthetic beauty, active and passive recreation, and other public benefits. Such lands include working and natural forests, rangelands and grasslands, farms ranches, parks, stream and river corridors and other natural lands within rural, suburban, and urban areas. Open space may be protected or unprotected, public or private.
Why Protect Open Space?
The loss of open space threatens the sustainability of the Nation’s forests, grasslands and rivers. Per the USDA report of Dec-2007, we lose approximately 6,000 acres of open space each day across the United States – a rate of four acres per minute. And, land development is outpacing population growth, especially in rural areas where the trend is low density, dispersed growth. The new Forest Service report “National Forests on the Edge” projects that over 21 million acres of rural private lands near national forests and 44 million acres of private land will undergo increases in housing density by 2030. We want to thank you in advance for helping to keep Chaffee County’s land and river corridors protected.
