About Us
Environmental Commission:
The Wyckoff Environmental Commission is made up of 5 – 7 resident volunteers appointed by the Township Committee, including one member who also serves on the Planning Board. Additonally. the Commission introduced a Jr. Environmental Commission Program back in 2019. Up to three, non-voting, high school Wyckoff students that are interested in environmental issues may be selected to serve a one year term on the Commission as Junior Commissioners to assist the Commssioners on varoius sustainable projects. The Environmental Commission meets on the third Monday of the month throughout the year at 7:00 pm in the 2nd floor Conference Room in Memorial Town Hall unless otherwise posted.
The Wyckoff Environmental Commission was established in 1972. The Commission’s role is provided by NJSA 40:56A-1 et seq, with the primary purpose to advise and make recommendations to the Township Committee on the promotion and encouragement of awareness on environmental and sustainable issues, conservation, recycling, litter prevention, and responsible use and development of our natural resources and open space. The Commission also works with other neighboring municipalities to share “best practices.”
