Each of our RCOSA Executive Board has a passion and many reasons for being so heavily involved and invested in the development and protection of open space in Rockwall County. Here are the thoughts of board member Charlie Pratt.

I have lived in this beautiful area with my family for 36 years. My three
children all went through our wonderful Rockwall ISD schools and
are college graduates.  My wife Patsy was very involved in the early days
as President of Women’s League. Newcomers, Amica and is still very active
in the community.  Since my years as Mayor of Heath, in the late 80’s and
early 90’s, we have seen quality growth in our County, but we have never
been faced with the fast growing development that is now happening in our
very small county.  It is important that we all have a sense of urgency
toward our preservation of Open Space for Rockwall County.  It will make an
important difference in the quality of life for all of our citizens in the
future.  I am extremely proud to be part of the Open Space Alliance for
Rockwall County.
