Open Space & Recreation Committee

Mission Statement

The mission of the Town of Brimfield Open Space and Recreation Committee is to preserve, maintain and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Brimfield by developing and maintaining an open space plan.  The plan will identify and recommend open space acquisitions and identify other creative strategies to preserve open space based on public input and in consideration of Town government policies and action and the Town's Master Plan.

What We Do

Brimfield's Open Space and Recreation Committee work to acquire and preserve land and ecosystems within Brimfield.  These areas provide a healthy environment for wildlife and plants and areas for passive or active recreational use by the public.  Areas of high natural, scenic and/or recreational value are priorities for the Committee.  In order to assure the protection of valued land, we assist in the creation of trails for passive recreation, community gardens, playing fields, beaches and playgrounds.

Public education is an important part of our mission, which involves providing informational signage at several open space properties, outdoor educational activities and land use and protection workshops.  The Committee also provides opportunities for the public to appreciate and enjoy Brimfield's preserved natural areas, parks, playgrounds and fields, gardens, water resources, wetlands and beaches.
