A Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) is a compendium of maps detailing water, soils, habitats and more in a specific location. An NRI also includes a report that analyzes what you see in the maps and draws together the latest research to give the maps interpretive detail and context.

The Village and Town of Rhinebeck collaborated on our NRI, which was officially adopted in the spring of 2022. The undertaking was supported by the Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County.

The NRI report can be viewed here online as a PDF with accompanying PDF maps. Or you can visit Village Hall, Town Hall, Starr Library or Morton Library to see a printed and bound copy. The public meeting room upstairs at Village Hall displays framed prints of the maps.
