Nature in Newburgh
We Want to Hear From You
What are your thoughts about greenspaces in Newburgh?
We’re preparing an inventory of natural resources in and near the City of Newburgh.
Newburgh’s Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) is coordinating a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) of the City that will compile and illustrate important, naturally occurring features within the City of Newburgh and adjacent properties that make up the boundaries of the City-owned Washington Lake and Brown’s Pond/Silver Stream reservoirs in both the Town of Newburgh and Town of New Windsor. We’re identifying wildlife habitats, streams, wetlands, ponds, groundwater, geology, plants and animals, scenic views, places for outdoor recreation, and more.

The Inventory Work
Find out more about what an NRI is, the Study’s mission, the Steering Committee who is managing the Study, and how you can get involved.
Get Involved
You can contribute to the work by taking a survey, attending an event, or taking photos of a favorite place in Newburgh where you experience nature. Newburgh’s Environmental Justice Fellows will be a part of the effort by reaching out to the community and helping collect and analyze data for the NRI.
