Goals of the Plympton Open Space Committee
The mission of the Plympton Open Space Committee is to inspire and maintain residents’ vision for Plympton, by preserving key natural areas, providing opportunities for passive recreation, supporting our agricultural sector, and fostering community involvement in environmental education and natural resources protection.
The “vision” statement in Plympton’s current Open Space Plan, is based on resident surveys in 2016 and before:
Plympton’s goal is to remain a rural town with scattered housing of varying design and setbacks along existing roads in compact neighborhoods, as well as in scattered outlying neighborhoods mixed within extensive farmland and a network of connected open spaces. Along with protected open space near all existing or probable neighborhoods, there will be a compact, diverse, readily accessible town center, and a range of low-key/passive recreational opportunities. This vision includes encouraging broad community support and involvement in achieving these open space goals.
This vision is based on the results of periodic resident surveys since the 1980’s. Plympton residents have consistently valued preserving the town’s rural character, open spaces and natural resources. The resident survey conducted in 2016 affirmed these same values but, notably, ranked protecting the town’s water resources and rural character as the top priorities.
