Open Space Committee (OSC) members are town-appointed with the primary goal being to review and implement the Open Space and Recreation Plan.  Updates to this report are submitted to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts every seven years, a requirement for many Stated awards and grants. The plan is used to drive improvement projects during the seven year period.

Primary Areas of Emphasis

  • Preserving land within the boundaries of Princeton that are deemed beneficial for recreational use
  • Performing stewardship of our natural resources
  • Maintaining the town’s rural character and conserving its diverse natural landscape
  • Fostering landowner awareness of land conservation and stewardship with the aim of exploring areas of cooperation beneficial to all parties
  • Creating new trails
  • Developing, maintaining and promoting utilization of the more than 100 miles of current trails currently in use in Princeton and neighboring areas
