Statement of Purpose:


The Open Space and Recreation Plan will serve to re-affirm Lincoln’s core Conservation, Recreation and Agricultural values. It will provide a guiding framework that can be used to maintain and enhance the ‘green infrastructure’ of the Community and it will identify pressures and opportunities that may influence the present and future character of Lincoln’s land.
