The Hatfield Township Open Space and Environmental Resource Protection Plan, adopted in 1995, served as a major resource to the subsequent preservation of land within Hatfield Township. Significant funding by Montgomery County, awarded to municipal partners that responded to the criteria as set by the County’s Open Space Program, also contributed to Hatfield Township’s success in the acquisition of more than 260 acres of land.

During the years 2004-2005, citizens, elected officials and staff of both Hatfield Township and Hatfield Borough worked with a professional planning group to update the plan. Their efforts were recognized by Montgomery County Green Futures, which, in 2006, awarded the two municipalities with an Outstanding Achievement Award for developing and adopting a collaborative open space plan.

The updated plan may be reviewed in its entirety by visiting the Hatfield Township Municipal Building during normal business hours. Read the section of the plan detailing “Recommendations” online.
