This Legislature hereby finds and determines that, in order
to implement the County policy of conserving, preserving and protecting
its environmental assets and natural and man-made resources; its open
spaces; its agricultural and forest lands; areas which are significant
because of their scenic or natural beauty or wetland, shoreline, geological
or ecological character; and areas which are significant because of
their historical, archaeological, architectural or cultural amenities,
a procedure must be established for the acquisition of conservation
easements critical to the enhancement and improvement of recreational
opportunities, tourism, community attractiveness, balanced economic
growth and the quality of life for all citizens of Suffolk County.
Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to establish a formal mechanism
for the acquisition of conservation easements by the County of Suffolk.
