This series contains items related to the Town of Nassau Conservation Advisory Council, such as minutes, correspondence, press releases, and reports. Included are materials from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) received by Jackson Davis as chair of the council. Major sections include materials generated by the creation of a Natural Resources Inventory for Nassau and items related to the proposed creation of Brainard Quarry by Lane Construction. For a general overview of the latter controversy, see folder titled, "Brainard Quarry, Timeline, 1992-1997."

Included in this series are subject files of news clippings on various environmental topics. There are also files on numerous local environmental groups, many small and short lived. These folders often consist of only a single item, such as a leaflet or flier. Of interest are the "Job Applications" folder, which contains Jackson Davis' resumes and employment history. This represents almost all of the biographical material in this collection. Also of interest is the folder for the "Keep New York State Clean" program, for which Jackson Davis served as a coordinator.
