Environmental Advisory Council
The Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) consists of seven volunteers that are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. One member is a representative from the Planning Commission, another member is a liaison from the Park and Recreation Board, and another member is a liaison from the Board of Supervisors. Members of the Environmental Advisory Council serve three-year staggered terms and are dedicated to exploring and promoting environmental initiatives in the Township. The EAC works at the direction of the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors and as an extension of Township staff to research environmental issues and funding sources; to advise Township staff and supervisors; to sponsor environmental education; to partner with Township residents, outside agencies, and organizations with similar interests; and to coordinate environmental projects.
