Departments / Land Use and the Environment / Greenspace

Park Agencies/Departments and Greenspace Committees frequently lead local efforts to preserve greenspace as natural area, although efforts vary widely at the county level. Check web-sites to learn about local progress and goals for preserving natural areas. The Hamilton County Park District and Anderson Township Greenspace Committee provide good examples of how Ohio counties and townships can add greenspace.
