Mantua Township's Environmental Commission (the
"EC") has been hard at work ensuring Mantua Township remains a great place
to live, work and play. Recently the EC received grant funds and in-kind
services to have the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC)
conduct a Resource Inventory and Open-Space Plan for the whole Township.
This plan determined what environmental assets are in our Township.

With the aid of state funding, the EC has also completed
the resource
study of Ceres Park (the nature and recreation park located off the south
end of Main Street). The EC has received an inventory, including great
pictures of all key plant and wildlife in the park, to determine what is in
the park and what needs protection. The EC
has provided the community with trail maps, along with providing trail
markers to identify the different types of trees and plants. The EC
anticipates these maps and "marked" trails will be utilized by local
schools, scout troops and other groups as a learning tool.
