working on right now.
The Kent Conservation Advisory Committee (KCAC) is collecting photos of Kent’s special places (lakes, the fire tower, stone chambers, etc.) as well as specific plants and animals for the Natural Resources and Biodiversity Inventory (NRI). The Kent NRI will document key naturally-occurring features of the town (wildlife and plants, geology, soils, streams, wetlands, forests, and scenic and cultural resources). It will be a resource for planning, land management, and conservation and will be used by multiple boards, committees, and organizations. You don’t need to be a local resident or professional photographer to contribute.
If you have photos of Kent’s landscapes, wildlife, and/or plants, please email them to [email protected]. Images should be a minimum of 300dpi at 5 x 8 inches (2,400 x 1,600 pixels). Please include the subject, location and photographer in the file name.
The Kent Climate Smart Task Force is a volunteer steering committee to the Town of Kent whose mission is to reduce overall energy usage and increase reliance on renewable energy sources; support development of a more sustainable local economy; inform and inspire community members and business leaders; mitigate the impacts of climate change; and conserve our natural resources for future generations.
Climate Smart is a program of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that helps local government take action to save energy, reduce costs, and mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Your involvement in our community makes progress possible.
