Town of Clinton Conservation Advisory Council

The Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) is a group of volunteers dedicated to the quality of Clinton’s natural environment.

The role of the CAC is to advise the Town Board, the Planning Board and The Zoning Board of Appeals on matters related to the natural environment. By providing a scientific perspective on land-use planning and decision-making, the CAC promotes wise use of the town’s natural resources and contributes to the conservation and improvement of the local environment and quality of life.

Membership draws interested citizens with diverse talents and expertise from across the community who are committed to preserving the quality of Clinton’s environment and helping residents make informed choices about their land. 

In addition to its municipal advisory role, the CAC provides in-person and online education for the community; coordinates and supports studies, surveys, and inventories of natural and manmade features; and maintains a current inventory of maps and file data for natural resources, open space, wetlands, and land use.

Meetings

The CAC meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30pm on the 3rd Floor in the Masonic Hall in the Town Complex. Meetings are open to the public. Agendas and minutes are available on the Town’s website.
