Upcoming Events
4/25/25 Soil Health Day
2025 Stormwater Symposium at Ursinus College
Soil Health Day
3/28/24 & 3/29/24 Resources Webinar for EACs
(Same agenda, two sessions offered).
Environmental Advisory Committees add value to their municipalities by promoting policies and proposing projects that benefit the local environment. County and state agencies have resources that can assist EACs in their mission, but these resources may not be familiar to EAC staff. The Montgomery County Planning Commission has organized this webinar to assist local EACs as they educate, promote, and advocate on environmental issues. In addition to our own staff, we have invited the Montgomery County Conservation District and WeConservePA to be a part of this webinar. EAC members who attend will learn what resources are available from all three agencies and will have an opportunity to network with other municipal EACs.
The meeting is open to members of EACs in Montgomery County. In addition, if your municipality is considering forming an EAC or if you have a committee similar to an EAC, such as a shade tree commission, please consider sending a representative.
