Newtown Twp. Seeking Residents To Serve On Environmental Advisory Council

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Newtown Township Environmental Advisory Council is looking for members who share an interest in environmental issues and ways to improve the quality of life in the township.

Examples include increasing places for pollinator gardens, looking into uses of solar power for the township, and other initiatives having to do with the environment.

The township's EAC recently took on a lead role in planning and carrying out the creation of a pollinator garden at Roberts Ridge Park. The EAC also helped draft the township's single-use plastics ordinance.

Township residents interested in serving on the EAC are encouraged to send a letter of interest and their resume to Township Manager Micah Lewis at 100 Municipal Drive, Newtown 18940. They can also send their letter and resume via email by clicking here.

The EAC was established to protect the natural resources of the township and create community awareness of the environment.

The members work together to build an environmentally sustainable community by championing and promoting natural resource conservation, consideration of environmental impacts in decision-making, education and awareness of environmental issues.

The EAC meets the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Newtown Township Municipal Building.
