Ulster County Natural Resources Inventory (NRI): 

The Ulster County NRI and Municipal Toolkit were developed to create an interactive database that describes the spatial extent, current condition, conservation, and importance of the County's natural resources and related assets. The NRI project was completed in 2023 and includes an interactive web map and accompanying web-based resources.

Ulster County's robust natural resources were also featured in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine. In the "Seeing Green: How to Identify Conservation Priorities Near You" feature, the green infrastructure potential of Ulster County, among other County-led sustainability initiatives, are highlighted. This web-based interactive feature and accompanying map of the County is seen by scrolling down and clicking on "Dreaming Green: A Case Study."
