The Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) was established in 2011 by the City of Peekskill Common Council to help build awareness and support for the management and protection of Peekskill’s natural resources and parks. For More Information Click About.
The concept for this project started in November 2010, when members of the Peekskill Conservation Advisory Council learned of a grant that was available from ELLA (Environmental Leadership Learning Alliance) for the purpose of cleaning streams in the Hudson River Watershed of debris and invasive plants and vines, and replanting the riparian borders of the streams with native trees and shrubs.
