If you’ve been wondering what the heck the wooden box at the Township building was – worry no more. The Environmental Commission received a grant last year to build and install a rain overflow planter. These planters help mitigate runoff and relieve pressure on storm drains while contributing to the aesthetic of the building.
Hardy plants were generously donated by Wolff’s Nursery and the project was completed with the assistance of numerous volunteers from the Township. It will be maintained by the EC.
The Environmental Commission meets on the third Thursday of every month. Public comments and suggestions are welcome. Interested parties should contact Trevor Serine at tcs@friendsofup.org.
