The following are active
projects by the EAC. Volunteers are needed to help in
these
areas.
Open Space
- an Open Space Plan was completed for the township which
laid
the groundwork for
the land preservation program. The EAC oversees the open
space program for the township,
making recommendations to the Supervisors. Several members
have been trained on a GIS
mapping system to help provide
planning data for the township. Future work will
concentrate on developing an
Official Map for the township
to help guide future development.
Township Park
– A trail system has been set up in land set aside for a
township park. This
includes installation of a gazebo with
stone facing and construction of five bridges to cross the
streams along the trails. The majority
of the work was done
by volunteers, particularly Girl Scouts
and Boy Scouts
completing Eagle Scout projects.
Future projects in the park will include the
elimination of
evasive
species, improvements for wildlife habitat and better
access
to the gazebo
via a walkway of paving
stones.
Township Newsletter
– The EAC has published several newsletters for the
township, focusing on
the open space program and
environmental issues.
