The Eden Conservation Advisory Board (CAB) is a volunteer group of nine (9) residents of the Town of Eden who have been appointed to 2-year terms by the Eden Town Board. The CAB is structured in accordance with General Municipal Law Article 12-F, Section 239-x to advise the Town in the development, management and protection of its natural resources.
The Eden CAB meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month except in July, August and December at 7:30 pm in the 2nd floor conference room of the Eden Town Hall 2795 East Church Street, Eden, New York 14057. Meetings are announced in the Eden Pennysaver and the public is encouraged to attend and participate. The Eden CAB also meets on an as-needed basis. The Eden CAB is a member of the New York State Association of Conservation Commissions and has received an award from NYSACC at their annual conference for completing a Natural Resource Inventory and Open Space Index. The Eden CAB also received an award from NYSACC for formulating a Conservation Easement Law; these documents are land use planning tools, which can be helpful in planning for development and the protection of important natural resources such as prime farmland, wetlands, wooded and steep sloped areas. In 2004 the Eden CAB, working with personnel from the Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District, prioritized open areas according to their environmental sensitivity to development. This information can also be used to select open areas, which may be suitable for conservation easements. 2004 Open Space AmendmentContact Us:
