Protecting our Environment in West Chester

Back in 2002, while Bill Scott was on Borough Council, West Chester resolved to participate in the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign, sponsored by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). Four years after that promising start, the Borough established the ad hoc BLUER (Borough Leaders United for Emissions Reduction) committee.

Now, after thousands of hours of volunteer work, the BLUER committee is scheduled to present its Climate Action Plan to Borough Council this Wednesday, April 15, from 6 to 7 PM at Borough Hall. We urge all concerned citizens to attend this very important meeting. West Chester has taken a lead on this critical effort, and BLUER is helping lead the way for West Chester.

Cleaning Up for Earth Day

You can also help keep West Chester clean by participating in the 4th Annual Chester Creek Earth Day this Saturday, April 18, by helping to clean up Goose Creek.

Then there's the ALL PARK CLEANUP, sponsored by West Chester Recreation, 9 to 11 AM, Saturday, April 25th. Eleven parks right in the borough of West Chester, and you can select a park! To sign up call (610) 436-9010.

Members of Bill's team will be down at the creek and at the park right in front of his home, along with members of Friends of Marshall Square Park, another community organization Bill helped to get off the ground in 2005.
