Residents and visitors alike treasure the outstanding scenic resources found in Tompkins County. Local plans frequently highlight a desire to preserve the rural character of the community. Tourism and economic development agencies tout the area’s beauty.  The Tompkins County Planning Department has prepared the Scenic Resources Inventory to lay the foundation for local planning to manage scenic resources in the County.  In the fall of 2007, the Tompkins County Scenic Resources Inventory received an award from the New York Upstate Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for its scope and innovation.
