Mud Pond Conservation Priority Area-A forested corridor extending from the headwaters north of Mud Pond southward into the Seneca River, supporting wetland and stream ecosystems.
Sterling Creek Conservation Priority Area-A forested buffer in the northeast corner of Conquest that protects the headwaters and watershed of Sterling Creek.
Seneca River Tributaries Conservation Priority Area-A forested buffer along two unnamed tributaries and a stretch of the Seneca River on the eastern edge of Conquest that stabilizes riparian habitat and promotes wildlife movement.
A full description of the proposed CEAs is available at the Office of the Town Clerk during normal business hours and upon request.
All interested persons should attend in order to be heard.
