Summary

Mayor Deborah Mans read and signed a proclamation committing the borough to the National Wildlife Federation Mayor's Monarch Pledge and urged residents to plant native milkweed and nectar plants to support monarch butterflies and other pollinators.
In presenting the pledge, Mans cited long‑term population declines for eastern monarchs and described local efforts already underway in Glen Ridge — pollinator gardens at Clay and Benson Street parks, plantings at schools and efforts at Freeman Gardens — and encouraged residents and institutions to participate in the borough's pollinator pathway.
The proclamation was presented during the communications portion of the meeting and councilors indicated they would notify the borough's Environmental Advisory Committee and promote related volunteer opportunities and events.
