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.
