While the Recreation
Commission oversees active parks such as ball fields and
tennis courts and the Shade Tree Commission oversees street
trees, the Environmental Commission oversees all passive
parks in the Borough, and other properties throughout the
Borough. The Environmental Commission shall also conduct
research and coordinate activities pertaining to the use and
potential use of open land areas, include recommendations
for acquisitions of open space.
The Environmental Commission
is also charged with teaching the community to respect our
trees and open spaces and to encourage residents and the
local government to make responsible environmental
decisions. This can be accomplished through community
outreach, meetings and events, and the distribution of
printed and digital materials, such as CDs, DVDs, books,
maps, charts, and pamphlets which it deems necessary to
further its mission.
