A Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) is a process culminating in a document providing descriptions and mapping of the location, distribution, type, and condition of particular natural resources. The resources are documented, recorded, and shared with the public for broader awareness of the current natural landscape of an area. In many cases, a municipality such as a village or town can utilize the NRI as part of their applications for state or federal grant funding. Otsego County’s Planning Department will introduce its new countywide natural resource inventory, sharing information about the initial impetus for creating the NRI, discussing the partner agencies/organizations that collaborated on this effort and the process, as well as the intended uses/benefits of an up-to-date NRI. Otsego County’s GIS Coordinator will walk through a mock scenario of a property inquiry using the online NRI to inform attendees how they can access it and utilize it themselves.
