Summary
The Environmental Commission told the Borough of Old Tappan Mayor & Council it finished "another successful year," citing community gardens, contests and an Arbor Day tree giveaway, and said it will team with local scouts on an invasive-plant removal pilot at the borough golf course.
At the Borough of Old Tappan Mayor & Council Sine Die meeting, the Environmental Commission representative said the commission is "finishing up another successful year," and recapped outreach and volunteer activities that ran through the year.
The commission member listed two community gardens, a "Hooked on Fishing" contest, a photo contest and an Arbor Day tree giveaway as highlights, and said the commission will team with local scouts to test an invasive-plant removal program at the borough golf course. "Now we're gonna team with the scouts to see if we can get an invasive plant removal program going at the golf course," the Environmental Commission member said. The representative noted the commission meets again next week and will take a December recess, with another report scheduled for January.
The report was presented as an informational update; no formal council action was recorded in the transcript on the proposed invasive-plant pilot. The commission’s plan and timeline were described verbally and the meeting record did not include supporting documents, cost estimates or a staff report for the proposed removal program.
