Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Open Space Authority values the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (JEDIA) in our work to preserve the natural environment, support agriculture and connect people to nature. We strive to have accessible, collaborative and accountable processes to engage the people and communities we serve in our programs, projects, careers and governance opportunities. We invite everyone to join and connect to nature with us.
