It keeps an index of all open areas, publicly or privately owned, including open marshland, swamps, and other wetlands, for the purpose of obtaining information on the proper use of such areas, and may, from time to time, recommend to the Planning Commission plans and programs for the development and use of such areas which may include the acquisition of conservation easements. It may acquire land in the name of the municipality for any of its purposes as set out in this section.
