Upcoming planting event at the Emmaus Library

You may have noticed some activity along the intermittent stream behind the Emmaus Public Library, between Main and Ridge streets. That's been us, working with the Borough to eliminate invasive Japanese knotweed and improve water quality.

Thanks to help from the Lehigh Gap Nature Center and the Borough of Emmaus, we're acquiring some plants to improve the area. We need your help to get them in the ground on Saturday, September 24th.

See you there!

How to contact us (Email address change)

In the past we've used "eacinfo @ uppermilford.net". The Township is moving to a new email provider which charges by the number of email addresses used. Since the EAC address didn't get a lot of activity, we're consolidating with the main township email account: info@uppermilford.net. Township staff will forward any EAC-related emails to us.

Our meetings are always public. They're held at 7pm on the 4th Monday of each month (usually December's meeting ends up being canceled) and alternate between the Emmaus and Upper Milford municipal buildings: Upper Milford in the odd-numbered months, and Emmaus in the even-numbered months.

Community Cleanup Event Official Flyer and More Details

First, the official flyer is now available.

This year there will be a few additional events after the cleanup part. A naturalist from the Wildlands Conservancy will be doing a vermicomposting (composting using worms) demonstration, and Paul Miller, a member of the EAC from Upper Milford Township, will be running a "Quest" for small teams to encourage exploration of the Emmaus Community Park and the EAC's mission.

Along with our usual cleanup event, distributing volunteers throughout Emmaus and Upper Milford to collect and dispose of litter, we're offering three recycling services at this year's event, all available in one place at the Emmaus Community Park:

• Electronics Recycling: RRS will be collecting electronics. Some large items require a fee. No alkaline batteries, such as AAA or D-cells, will be accepted.
• Document Shredding: the EAC is partnering with Representative Justin Simmons and Senator Pat Browne to offer free on-site document shredding.
• Household Goods Recycling: Recycle Local will be collecting clothing, furniture, toys, and other household items. Proceeds will benefit the EAC, helping to offset the cost of providing the other services.

More details and the official event flyer will be available shortly. See you there!
