The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on February 8, 2017, with all members present. The council approved the minutes from the January 11 meeting. Under new business, the council finalized plans for a Public Awareness Weekend on March 24-25, with a council member securing a spot for March 24 at 5:00 p.m.; two council members offered to fill in if needed. The group agreed to focus on stormwater education as the topic. A council member noted that members should closely monitor the addition at Patrick’s Pub and may need to conduct field visits. For Earth Day on April 23, the council adopted the theme “Fun in the Forecast” and discussed a children’s activity related to the water cycle or cloud identification. A council member reported that the Audubon Society suggested Lobelia Siphilitica as this year’s plant giveaway species, with an estimated need of 200 plants, though seedlings are unavailable. The council member is exploring adding a pump to the stormwater runoff model to keep water circulating. A council member will demonstrate rain barrel construction at the North Fayette Township Building on April 27. Two council members will not attend Earth Day. For Recycling Day on June 3, a council member has filed event registrations with the DEP. The council reviewed a draft flyer, making minor clarifications; members voted to keep the flyer white rather than green, and agreed to add a request for volunteers. Non-residents will be checked for IDs. Global Links cannot attend but will pick up collected items the following Monday, requiring temporary storage planning. The council discussed the At Your Door Service, noting that MTMA will handle production and distribution of magnets and postcards. A council member has a meeting scheduled with the new Parks Director on February 16 to update him on the Smoke Free Parks initiative. A council member will send profile pictures for the council’s Facebook page, which is the final step before publication; two council members will serve as site administrators. The council also received updated contact information and a copy of the Montour Trail letter announcing the 2017 PA Trail of the Year. The Montour Run stream clean-up is set for April 1, with a rain date of April 8. The next meeting is scheduled for March 8.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on February 8, 2017, with all members present.
