Open Space

Open space is broadly defined as any undeveloped land with particular conservation or recreation value. Open space within Holliston provides many benefits. It protects and conserves our natural resources, including the aquifers that provide the town's water. Open Space provides habitat corridors for wildlife. It provides areas for passive recreation. Open space also contributes to the town's character and aesthetic appeal. The Town of Holliston's Master Plan and the Open Space and Recreation Plan both set a goal of permanently protecting 25% of Holliston's land area as open space.
