The Town of Boston Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) is currently seeking new members. We are a group of like-minded residents, whose task is to advise the Town Board on conservation and quality of life issues in the town. Some examples of CAC activities are:

• Each year the CAC hosts a fishing derby for area children, at the Boston Town Park . Many prizes are given, including fishing gear, and seedlings the participants can plant at home. Local merchants donate prizes and food, and the South Towns Walleye Association has assisted us in the past.

• The CAC sponsors educational programs at local schools. This has included building blue bird houses, planting trees and shrubs, and landscape development.

• Subscriptions to educational materials, such as the New York State Conservationist, have been purchased by the CAC for a local school and the Boston Free Library.

• We provide liaison for conservation projects conducted by civic organizations, such as the Boy and Girl Scouts.

• The CAC advises the Town Board on conservation issues which will increase the quality of life in the Town of Boston .

• We have participated in other activities such as fish stocking, tree planting, and, tire and paint recycling.

The CAC meets the third Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at 7:30 PM . If you are interested in becoming a CAC member and contributing to the quality of life in the Town of Boston , please send a letter and resume to Town Clerk David J. Shenk, 8500 Boston State Road , Boston , NY 14025 . Also, we are always interested in comments and suggestions from Town residents.

Take our Tree Survey!

Thank you to the residents of Boston who have returned the previous survey and the comments that you made!

We are, however, interested in expanding the compilation of these comments in an effort to:

Preserve mature trees

Remove those that are beyond saving and

perhaps, causing a danger

Plant new trees to enhance

the beauty of the Town of Boston

Your help is greatly appreciated and will help in keeping

our town a beautiful and peaceful place! 

Thank you!
