Otsego County Conservation Association

• OCCA is dedicated to the protection, appreciation, and enhancement of the natural resources within Otsego County.  OCCA's activities are predicated on the belief that the natural environment is inherently valuable; a well-informed public will enjoy and respect our natural heritage; working in partnership with public and private institutions is the best way to achieve our goals; local gov't should take a leadership role in land-use planning, solid waste management, and in enacting and enforcing conservation and land-use laws; regional and long-term perspectives should be considered when judging the possible effects of any alterations in the natural environment.
   

• To achieve its mission, OCCA will work in cooperation with both public and private entities to promote policies and programs designed to protect the county's water, air, soils, wildlife and natural landscapes for current and future generations.  As need be, OCCA may act as a conduit for federal, state, and local grants.  It will also produce educational materials and conduct workshops on pertinent environmental issues; encourage sustainable agriculture, forestry, and prudent use of all our natural resources; promote appreciation and enjoyment of the abundant wildlife and scenic beauty of Otsego County.
