The purpose of the O-1 Open Space District is to enhance

between development and ecologically sensitive areas, maintain the
ecological functions of natural waterways and drainage networks, preserve
natural habitat and the islands' ability to support wildlife and preserve
the Township's forested areas and overall natural character.
