Quick Facts:
Open space is natural land that has not been converted to residential, suburban, or commercial development. Open Space includes forests, greenways, parks, meadows, fields, wetlands, floodplains, and farms.
Wake County has used voter-approved bonds of $15 million in 2000 and $26 million in 2004 to finance the Open Space Program. To date, we’ve preserved 3,548 acres, often in partnership with other local governments or agencies.
