Natural Resources Inventory

GARDINER'S NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY

In January 2021 the Gardiner Open Space Commission and Environmental Conservation Commission, in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, created a detailed Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) of the Town of Gardiner for public use.

All available data and reports are available online using the Interactive NRI Mapping Tool.  

The Natural Resources Inventory describes the Town of Gardiner’s fresh water, parks, natural habitats and scenic spaces that are essential to ensure continued prosperity, quality of life and responsible growth for our Town.
