Section 7-131a of the Connecticut General Statutes enables towns and cities in Connecticut to establish a Conservation Commission "for the development, conservation, supervision and regulation of natural resources, including water resources within its territorial limits." While the role of a Conservation Commission is advisory, one of its most significant assignments is its role in reviewing pending land use applications and reporting to planning and zoning and inland wetland commissions concerning those applications. It is also responsible for preparing an inventory of natural resources which should act as a baseline for a town's preservation and conservation policies.
