Protection and management of key resources in Tompkins County is a high priority action item identified in the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan.  In support of this action item, and as part of the Tompkins County Natural Features Focus Area Project, the Tompkins County Planning Department (TCPD) has prepared the Draft Tompkins County Conservation Plan: A Strategic Approach to Natural Resource Stewardship to help establish a more coordinated and strategic approach to long-term stewardship of natural, recreational, and working landscape resources in Tompkins County. The Tompkins County Conservation Plan is the result of more than two years of research, extensive public outreach, and collaboration with multiple partner agencies.
