Environmental Advisory Councils are helping over a hundred communities in Pennsylvania find solutions to environmental problems.

Councils are typically a group of interested citizens appointed by local elected officials to advise them on the protection, conservation, management and promotion and use of natural resources.

Municipalities form Councils under a specific law—Act 148 of 1973.

What do Councils do? Find out by going to the special EAC Network website and listen to Council members tell you about projects in their communities.

You can also find out how to form an EAC, the resources available to help you become an active member and how to join the EAC Network Listserv to connect you to others with similar interests.

The EAC Network is a project of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the website is produced by the GreenTreks Network, Inc.
