Open Space

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Sara Malone in SOTRv2 Page Content

Open space provides a myriad of enhancements to quality of life in the Raritan.  These spaces are often vegetated and minimally developed, providing many of the same benefits as canopy cover such as species habitat, carbon sequestration, temperature modification, oxygen generation and air purification.  Open space can also store floodwater or filter runoff to enhance […]
