Conservation Land 
Conservation Lands are south Florida natural lands with vegetative and wildlife communities restorable to a reasonable healthy state. Though often fragmented, these remaining natural lands are refuges that provide shelter, food, and corridors to wildlife and facilitate movement amidst surrounding urban development. Conservation Lands provide passive recreational areas for residents and visitors alike. As of October 2007, 25 sites of Conservation Land, comprising more than 114 acres, have been acquired through the Bond Program. 
Green Space
Although still valuable ecologically, human impact on Green Spaces is greater than on Conservation Lands, resulting in loss of some important aspects of the native vegetative and wildlife community. As a result, Green Space restoration efforts are challenging. However, they are important because they provide buffer zones or connectors between environmentally sensitive lands and Conservation Lands. To date, Broward County has acquired 16 Green Space parcels throughout the County totaling more than 171.08 acres.
Open Spaces
Open Spaces include vacant lands, agricultural lands, developed sites, or even contaminated lands that can be cost-effectively reclaimed as recreational parks. Broward County has acquired more than 642 acres contained within 51 sites under this category. Municipalities’ development and management of Open Spaces include recreated wetland areas, equestrian trails, and trails for walking, jogging or hiking; fishing docks, and nature interpretation.
Purchase of Development Rights (PDR's)
Within the Open Space category, funds have been allocated for the purchase of development rights (PDR) on agricultural lands. Remaining agricultural lands are quickly being lost to development; an important effort is to conduct less-than-fee-simple acquisition of properties. As a result, properties’ owners look after the agricultural property, continue the farm-related activities, and prevent development of the site for something other than agricultural use. Through the PDR program, nearly 64 acres within five sites of horse farms, grazing/pasture lands and plant nurseries have been preserved to ensure a component of our rural past will remain, in perpetuity.
