Open Space and Recreation Committee

Holden’s  2020  Open  Space  and  Recreation  Plan  (OSRP)  is  a  planning  document  designed  to  provide direction  to  Town  government  and  others  interested  in  protecting  the  Town’s  open  spaces,  recreational and  historical  resources. The  2020  OSRP  will evaluate  property  in  Holden  that  has  been  identified  as significantly contributing to the open space and recreation needs and overall character of the Town. The plan includes a Five-Year Action Program to further the following goals: To preserve the aesthetic and natural resources in Holden; To preserve wildlife habitats; To preserve water supplies for Holden and surrounding towns; To provide active recreation resources and facilities; To  promote  passive recreation  resources  and integrate them  with  conservation  and  open  space activities; and To develop funding sources to accomplish these goals. The  2020  OSRP,  which  replaces  and  supersedes  the  2012  OSRP,  maintains  the  Town  of  Holden eligibility  for  grant  programs  administered  by  the  Division  of  Conservation  Services  (DCS)  of  the  Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA).
