Conservation Board

The North Castle Conservation Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Planning Board, Town Board and Town Engineer on activities within wetlands and the 100-ft. wetland buffer zone.  The Board provides information to residents for the protection of open space, water resources, erosion control, tree preservation and wildlife conservation.

The Conservation Board evaluates all wetland permit applications.  This process might include site visits, but always includes the presentation of existing conditions and proposed plans for review and recommendations.  The Conservation Board also evaluates any proposal for development of parcels ten or more acres in size. 

Increasingly, the Conservation Board is involved in inter-municipal coordination due to the nature of the watersheds and the scope of larger developments.  It assists in sound planning to assure the preservation of natural and scenic resources.

Conservation Board Members are appointed by the Town Board to two-year terms.

Currently the office is normally staffed Tuesday – Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
