Black Creek
The Conservation Board advises both the Planning Board and Town Board on
matters affecting the preservation, development, use of the natural and
human developed features and conditions insofar as quality, biologic
integrity, beauty and other environmental factors are concerned. In the
case of human activities and developments, advise on any major threats
posed to environmental quality, so as to enhance the long range value of
the environment to the people of the town. Conduct a program of public
information in the community which shall be designed to foster increased
understanding of the nature of environmental problems and issues and
support for their solutions. Conduct and maintain an inventory of the
natural resources within the town. Maintain an up-to-date index of all
open spaces, public and private ownership within the town, including but
not limited to natural landmarks, glacial and other geomorphic or
physiographic features; streams and their floodplains, swamps,
marshlands, and other wetlands; unique biotic communities; scenic and
other open areas of natural or ecological value. Maintain liaison and
communications with public and private agencies and organizations whose
and activities have an impact on the quality of the environment or who
can be of assistance to the board.
