the prevention of chronic disease, provide therapeutic recreation services for those who
are mentally or physically disabled, and also improve the mental and emotional health of

prosperity through increased property values, expansion of the local tax base, increased

community and provide a place for children and adults to connect with nature and
recreate outdoors.
