Started in 1998 as a result of a grassroots effort by numerous community groups, Open Space formed after a referendum passed providing 0.5 mill levy for two years and again in 2000 with a 0.25 mill levy for six years. These funds were used to acquire and maintain historical sites and cultural treasures that also feature essential aquifers. Open Space provides workshops, guided hikes, educational field trips and volunteer opportunities on the preserved land.
