Biodiversity Project

The Town of Clinton engaged Hudsonia Ltd. to conduct a town wide habitat mapping project.  The overarching goal of the project is to help land-owners and town agencies better understand our  biological resources and  develop land-planning strategies that promote development where it causes the least harm to sensitive habitats and species, protecting the most ecologically important areas. The results of this project were presented at the February 12th Town Board meeting by Christopher Graham of Hudsonia.
