Above: New York's pre-eminent open space, the Fulton Lakes Chain in the Adirondacks.
WSHU had an interesting story about open space on Long Island, and why we should care about it:

The report mentions that Suffolk County is buying up farm land to preserve as open space. More such open space would have been persevered if the Open Space proposal hadn't been defeated by voters this past fall.

I like open spaces. I did not vote against them!
At least most of the farms are still around though! It's going to suck royally when they're gone in five or ten years. At least in the Baiting Hollow area anyway. further east, those aren't going anywhere. The wine biz will make sure of that.
