The Buena Vista Township Green Team will be taking on conservation and nature projects that will be educational, recreational, resourceful and fun!
Our goal is to help make everyone in our Township more aware of the importance of nature and its preservation to live more sustainably and to “Get out and smell the roses!”
Some of our proposed projects are:
- Reopen the Nature Trail at Michael Debbi Park with educational signage about the habitat.
- Save the Monarch Butterfly Project. We will be planting a Monarch Butterfly garden (all other pollinators will be welcomed also) at Michael Debbi Park to coincide with the Nature Trail. We will also make Milk Weed Plant seeds available for home gardeners to plant as this is the ONLY plant where a female Monarch Butterfly lays her eggs and the ONLY food source for the caterpillar stage to feed on to metamorphosis into a Monarch Butterfly!
- A community garden where vegetables can be grown and shared.
We are seeking people that are positive and interested in being a part of our Community Township Green Team. To be part of the Green Team projects, please contact Committeeman John Williams at 609-513-7318 or email jwilliams@buenavistanj.com. Be sure to check every month for Green Team News and Tips!
