The Town of Boston Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) is an auxiliary board composed of members appointed by the Town Board. We are committed to sharing knowledge and resources around conservation and the environment in order to preserve the beauty and natural resources of Our Town. Our Council advises the Town Board on conservation-related issues, houses the Climate Smart Communities subcommittee, engages with local environmental groups such as the Erie County Environmental Management Council, and organizes several events and educational opportunities throughout the year, including:
· Youth Fishing Derby - Our annual Fishing Derby for Youth is traditionally held the Saturday before Mother's Day in May at the fishing ponds at the Boston Town Park. Youth aged 15 and under are invited to participate!
· Snowshoes and Snowmen - In late Winter, families are invited to join us at the Boston Town Park for a snowshoeing adventure! Snowshoes are available for check-out for free. Enjoy the serenity of winter at your own pace or participate in a scavenger hunt around the park. Afterwards, warm up inside the Town Community Room with a hot cup of cocoa and snacks!
· Local Environmental Awareness Fair (L.E.A.F.) - The Local Environmental Awareness Fair exists to educate Our community on conservation, wildlife, and the environment. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the many people, organizations, and features of our local environment that make our community a wonderful place to live! The Fair is held annually on a Saturday in September.
· Additionally, we have organized invasive species management workshops, bluebird house workshops, educational programming at local schools, fish stocking, tree planting, and more!
The Conservation Advisory Council meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM in the Planning Board Room at the Boston Town Hall. Meetings are open to the public and we're interested in your comments and suggestions! If you’re unable to join a meeting, you can reach us by e-mail at [email protected] or by mail at 8500 Boston State Rd., Boston, New York 14025
