Introduction
Our township is celebrating it's
200th anniversary this year. Imagine how the township looked in those
beginning years. A winding river and connecting streams lined with an
abundance of trees and forests, meadows covered with wild flowers,
rolling countryside with farms scattered across the landscape and
plenty of wildlife living throughout.
Things certainly have changed over
the years but many of the key scenic assets visible throughout the
township 200 years ago are still visible today. Due to continued
growth some of these assets are in jeopardy of being lost forever.
In 2001 the Sugarcreek
Township Trustees adopted a new "Comprehensive Land Use Plan". A part
of the plan was the creation of an Open Space Advisory Committee. It
is the goal of the Committee to preserve some of the beautiful scenic
qualities and protect key open space assets.
