open field
In land management, an "open field" refers to a large, unobstructed area of land with minimal structures or tall vegetation. It often serves agricultural, recreational, or conservation purposes. Such fields are typically flat or gently undulating and are accessible for farming, playing, or natural habitats. The term emphasizes the openness and lack of development, making the area suitable for various activities that benefit from spaciousness and natural light. Open fields play a vital role in ecosystems and land use planning, providing space for growth, recreation, and environmental preservation.
