Environmental Advisory Council
Mission: The Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) was established to advise the Schuylkill Township Board of Supervisors on the protection, conservation and management of the use of natural resources like air, water and land in the Township in a sustainable way. The EAC also provides residents and commercial businesses with information useful in making more informed decisions regarding environmental issues through educational outreach programs and projects. The EAC is composed of eight volunteer residents of Schuylkill Township appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
Follow the EAC’s activities at Schuylkill Township EAC | Facebook.
