Trails, parks, forests, farms and other open spaces help make the Puget Sound region a wonderful place to live, work and explore. PSRC works with cities, counties, Tribes, resource agencies, and community partners to protect and enhance these places.
The Regional Open Space Conservation Plan guides efforts to conserve the region’s network of open spaces and identifies actions needed to sustain them for future generations. PSRC is currently updating the plan to assess progress toward regional goals and identify new opportunities for conservation, stewardship, and public access. An advisory committee has been created to guide the plan’s development.
We need your help!
Our region’s residents play an important role in shaping the Regional Open Space Conservation Plan, and we invite you to share your voice.
