Does all greenspace have to be accessible to people?
No, but all of it must be permanently protected. Land in its natural state may have community value by protecting water quality, historic resources, or wildlife habitat, even if it is not available for public use. Communities can set aside such lands as part of the development planning process. However, for land on which public access is desired, the right to allow public use would have to be acquired by purchase or gift. The state grants will help communities purchase land or access rights in areas where public access is desired.
