USDA Reports On
Problems Of Keeping
U.S. Open Space Open
Effoits to preseive land in
open space uses often fail be
cause people don’t undei stand
the open space concept, or
cnoose the wrong method for
keeping the land open, accord
ing to a newly-published U S
Department of Agriculture re
port.
Open space is any area that is
relatively free from develop
ment, with a low population,
and very little of its area paved
or covered with stiuctures Ac
cording to the report, by US
DA’s Economic Research Ser
vice, open space can be in farms,
forests, recreation areas, or in
stitutional uses. It can be of al
most any size.
Open spaces help create scen
ic areas, recharge the air with
oxygen because of the trees and
gieen plants, allow rainwater to
seep into the water table rather
than run off; and avoid silt pol
lution and flooding of streams
Open spaces are greatly impor
tant as buffers for disparate
uses, and to help structure and
ai ea’s development, according
to the report
The report stresses that plan
ning is vital to get the necessary
open spaces when costs are rel
atively low and the lands are un
fettered with buildings or other
uses.
Some open space programs
have failed because their back
ers failed to point up all of the
benefits of open space Others
lacked support because the
method chosen for keeping the
land open was too expensive or
inappropriate
The xeport points out that
land can be kept in open spaces
in many ways—some expensive,
some relatively cheap The tech
niques include outright pur
chase, purchase of partial rights,
tax policies, and land-use con
trols such as zoning.
