In 2007, the Town of Yorktown Planning Department received a grant to conduct a Biodiversity Conservation Study of the Town of Yorktown. The purpose of this study was to identify and document environmentally sensitive natural resources throughout the Town of Yorktown, and to develop recommendations for conserving those resources for the long term. This approach to land use planning is an important part of developing long-term, sustainable strategies for enhancing natural resources throughout the Town.
