This document provides an introduction and overview of the Mohawk Towpath Scenic Byway Scenic Conservation Action Plan. It describes the Byway's history and importance [1]. The goal of the plan is to guide scenic conservation along the Byway to preserve landscapes, farms, historic villages and enhance the economy and quality of life [2]. The plan was created through a multi-year process including workshops to identify scenic resources and issues, an assessment of the Byway's landscapes, and developing strategies [3]. The plan provides tools to guide development to protect scenic character through landscape categories and conservation strategies.
