Mission Statement of the Environmental Council:
"To advice member municipalities and their residents on matters of environmental interest and importance." IT'S MOSQUITO SEASON - The West Nile and other mosquito borne illnesses are serious and potentially lethal to our population. Inspect your property NOW for any stagnant pools of water. Do not forget those empty saucers, decorative pots, old tires, pails, wheelbarrows, and ponds should have circulating, dripping water or be stocked with carnivorous fish. If you need additional help with mosquito control, please contact the borough office at 412-241-7113.
The council serves Chalfant, Churchill, Forest Hills and Wilkins, each of which may appoint up to three members as representatives. The Council meets on the 4th Monday of January, May and September at the Churchill Borough Building, 2300 William Penn Highway at 7:00 PM. The public is welcome. Current Churchill representatives are Joan E. Gottlieb, Susan Keane, Ruth Anne Balkey, Peggy Carpenter, & John Weber. The Council sponsored the first volunteer recycling center in our area back in 1970, and dedicated volunteers from the community still run this center on the first Sunday of each month from 10 AM to 1 PM on the parking lot of the Woodland Hills Administration Building. All types of cans and glass containers are accepted. In the 1980's the Council worked with and supported efforts at the High School to monitor water quality in area streams, work is still going on in the gifted program. In honor of the United States Bicentennial celebration in 1976 the Environmental Council produced, and Westinghouse printed, an illustrated, 18 page "Churchill Area Tour Guide" for distribution to all residents. It highlights local features of historical and/or environmental interest. Copies are still available for newcomers. Advisories And Fliers Periodically, the Council develops and distributes advisories and fliers on timely environmental issues affecting our communities. These are available on request from the Borough Building and include:
