The parks in New York's Hudson Valley saw large increases in visitation during the pandemic, highlighting the importance of parkland and open spaces for recreation. This week, we're talking about open space, land use, conservation and the balance between preservation and development.
This week's episode features Christopher "Kim" J. Elliman, President and CEO of the Open Space Institute (OSI), a land conservation organization that has conserved more than 2.3 million acres in the eastern U.S. and, in the process, has created more than 50 new parks and protected areas. OSI acquires, finances, and promotes the conservation of lands for human use and resilient natural systems.
