The Open Space Preservation and Farmland Protection Task Force is an adhoc volunteer advisory group established in 1998 and appointed by the Town Board as a subcommittee of the Conservation Board, consists of a member of the Conservation Board, the Town Board, the Planning Coordinator, members of the public interested in open space and farmland preservation, and has had a representative from the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning. It has designated, distributed, tabulated and interpreted the results of an extensive survey questionnaire regarding open space and farmland preservation in the Town. At the further direction of the Town Board, the Task Force has done a careful inventory of open space and farmland, mapping these resources and is currently examining methods by which these areas may be preserved/and or acquired. Their findings and recommendation will be presented to the Town Board.
