Plan Throughout 2013, Jeffco Open Space staff engaged the community and the leadership of the Open Space Advisory Committee to update the 2008 Master Plan. Measurable goals and associated strategies for the next 5-year period reflect our commitment to acquire and preserve lands, protect natural and park resources, and provide for healthy, nature-based experiences. Among our 5-year goals: Preserve at least 1,700 acres. Refine stewardship standards and systems. Expand the trail system by 25 miles. Develop and employ a communications and community involvement plan. Increase program participation by 27,000 people each year. Increase volunteer support by 16,850 hours each year. Promote individual and group stewardship of public lands through 12,000 additional educational contacts annually. Support the Nature-Health Connection through the creation of five additional regional Jeffco Outdoors maps.
