The Town Board of the Town of Stanford recognizes that the preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural and man-made environment within the Town of Stanford, in the face of population growth, urbanization and technologic change with their accompanying demands on natural resources, are found to be of increasing and vital importance to the health, welfare and economic well-being of the present and future inhabitants and require forthright action by the governing body of the Town of Stanford. It is further recognized that the biologic integrity of the natural environment on which man is dependent for survival and the natural and functional beauty of our surroundings which condition the quality of our life experience cannot be protected without the full cooperation and participation of all the people of the Town of Stanford working partnership with local and state officials and with various public and private institutions, agencies and organizations.
