The volunteer CPF Advisory Board has been created to help the Town Board identify landowners who wish to protect their land. The Advisory Board is guided by a science-based Community Preservation Plan, which identifies the important conservation values that might exist on any given parcel in the Town. Read a descriptive brochure here.
