Charlestown EAC updates on cleanup, battery box program and Bird Town monitoring
Summary
Members approved materials and assignments for a PennDOT road cleanup, reviewed logistics for a battery box distribution program, and reported that nesting boxes show no activity while the township achieved Bird Town Gold certification.
The committee approved a final information flyer and reviewed logistics for the PennDOT road cleanup, assigning Jill Green to post flyers and social media notices targeted at residents along Charlestown Road.
Armstrong gave a status update on the battery box program, explaining the receipt, packing and shipping process and noting that UPS requires one strip of tape around each box before shipment.
Dan Walker and Pete Goodman reported on monitoring of bird‑nesting boxes at township sites; they found no nesting activity during the most recent inspection and plan to check every two weeks until activity appears, then monitor more closely while discouraging invasive nesters. The minutes note the township has reached 'Gold' level in the Bird Town certification program.
Why it matters: These items reflect routine conservation stewardship and volunteer logistics that enable larger habitat and community‑engagement goals.
