One of our (many) goals is to provide community education and outreach to East Amwell residents on sustainability matters. This includes participating in and planning volunteer opportunities such as Clean Communities events, green fests, tree planting events and other educational activities. 

The EC have been working on many CE&O initiatives, such as:

  • VIP & website updates, and a quarterly online newsletter from the EC
  • Partnering with organizations to provide rain garden/barrel tutorials, and planning a green fest;
  • Providing education to residents on tree maintenance and guidance to other committees on various ordinances that may impact environmental standards within the township;
  • Planning watershed cleanups with educators on hand;
  • Pursuing continuing education opportunities via Project WET, and Rutgers Environmental Steward programs
