§ 7-1. Legislative intent.  


Latest version.
  • The preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural and man-made environment within the Town of Orchard Park in the face of population growth, urbanization and technological change, with their accompanying demands on natural resources, are found to be of increasing and vital importance to the health, welfare and economic well-being of present and future inhabitants and require forthright action by this Town Board. It is recognized that the biologic integrity of the environment, on which man is dependent for survival, and the natural and functional beauty of our surroundings, which condition the quality of our life experience, cannot be protected without the full cooperation and participation of all of the people of the town working in partnership with local and state officials and with various public and private institutions, agencies and organizations. Establishment of a Conservation Board is a necessary step fostering unified action on environmental problems.
