Environmental Advisory Council

Our Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) advises township officials to help inform decision-making regarding environmental issues. The EAC is involved in planning new conservation initiatives and community environmental education efforts. The EAC consists of up to 7 volunteer members appointed by the Board of Supervisors for 3-year terms. EAC members must be residents of Towamencin Township. Meetings are open to the public and held on the second Tuesday of each month at the Township building.

Downspout Planter Workshop Recap – May 12, 2022

On Thursday evening, May 12, the Township's EAC held their Downspout Planter Workshop at Fischer’s Park, led by Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy Conservation Coordinator, Beth Myers. Beth guided participants through the steps of planting and installing a downspout planter at their home. The event was $30 and included all necessary supplies and materials.  A downspout planter that attaches to your downspout will divert rainwater into the planter and is a great solution to reduce the amount of stormwater on your property.
