The Kent Conservation Advisory Committee was
established as a volunteer organization to advise the Town
Supervisor and the Town Board on environmental issues.
The Committee is composed of seven appointed members who recommend
one of the members to serve as chairman.
The Committee is committed to the identification, conservation,
and enjoyment of the Town’s unique natural areas. We sponsor
hikes, surveys, and the preservation of these areas. With the approval
of New York State DEC, we have restored the fire tower on Mt.
Nimham for public use, with the approval of New York City
DEP, we have established a trail to Hawk Rock and
are conducting preservation activities at the Mead Farm,
a colonial homestead. We conduct educational programs in the use
of energy efficient technologies, modern advanced waste water treatment
systems, and the reduction of waste volume.
