Gallatin’s CAC has begun it’s Natural Resource Inventory and Conservation Plan.
In June 2024, the CAC began work on our Natural Resource Inventory and Conservation Plan (NRICP)
- The CAC hired Jim Nordgren (JN Land Trust Services), an environmental and land use consultant to complete the NRI/NRICP
- We hosted 9 forest property walks with Jim Nordgren, open to the community as part of Jim’s work to map Gallatin’s forest corridors
- We organized a presentation by Christine Vanderlan, Conservation and Land Use Specialist, with the Hudson River Estuary Program, to the Town Board and Gallatin Residents on municipal policy options and how towns in our region are implementing zoning recommendations from their NRIs
- Provided the Town Board with an interim report including recommendations on Forest Overlay zones and best zoning practices to protect Gallatin’s forests.
