The Titusville Environmental Commission convened on March 13, 2024, to discuss plans for participating in the upcoming Earth Day event at Enchanted Forest. The meeting focused on logistics for setting up a booth, distributing educational materials, and engaging the community in environmental initiatives.
Commission members reviewed past practices for their booth setup, which typically included a tent, tables, and promotional materials such as bike trail maps and conservation flyers. They emphasized the importance of having engaging items for children, like coloring books and giveaways, to attract families to their table. The commission noted a need to inventory existing materials and reach out to the public works department for additional brochures on topics like water conservation and native plants.
Participation in the event was confirmed, with several members expressing their willingness to volunteer. The commission discussed the need for a public notice regarding their gathering at the event, which was deemed unnecessary as long as they refrained from discussing official business during their time at the booth.
The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of maintaining a presence at the Earth Day event to promote environmental awareness and community involvement. The commission plans to finalize details and gather materials before their next meeting, ensuring they are well-prepared for the event.
