Make a Difference

Brentwood has long valued its green spaces—they are the heart of our community and a defining part of what makes this city such a special place to call home. Our parks, trails, and open landscapes connect residents to nature, to one another, and to the peaceful character that sets Brentwood apart.

Too often, we hear that communities cannot afford to “grow smart” by conserving open space. But evidence shows the opposite is true. Protecting open space is not an expense—it’s an investment. Academic studies, economic analyses, and the real-world experiences of community leaders all demonstrate that open space preservation doesn’t just maintain beauty—it provides lasting value. It enhances property values, supports local economies, attracts families and businesses, and safeguards the exceptional quality of life we all enjoy.

By continuing to make conservation a priority, Brentwood can preserve its natural beauty and community spirit while ensuring sustainable growth for generations to come. Get involved, stay informed, and help protect the open spaces that make Brentwood a place we’re proud to call home—once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
