Greenbelt
Alliance Origins: Growing while Protecting Open Space
2003 marks the forty-fifth anniversary of Greenbelt Alliance's
work to protect open space and promote livable communities. In the 1970s,
our predecessor People for Open Space bolstered its organizational structure
to provide regional focus to greenbelt protection.
