Mission Statement:

The Avon By the Sea Environmental Commission is a group of volunteers, appointed by the Borough Board of Commissioners to help conserve the community’s environment. Working with Borough offi

cials, community organizations and residents, the Environmental Commission seeks to promote programs that conserve resources, foster a better understanding of our environment and stimulate interest in protecting the environment. The Environmental Commission was created by ordinance in December,1992. Regular public meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Municipal Building. Projects:

Sylvan Lake Dredging and Restoration
In conjunction with the Sylvan Lake Commission, the Avon Environmental Commission is working with local officials to dredge and restore the Lake to reduce the risk of flooding that it poses to the surrounding community and to make it a resource that can truly be enjoyed for boating and fishing and can sustain a healthy variety of local wildlife. Recycling:

The AEC is working with Borough officials to place recycling containers alongside garbage cans on Main Street and at the Avon School and to improve public awareness of the need to and how to recycle. For more information on recycling, solid waste and hazardous materials, visit:

Clean Ups:

The AEC participates in semi-annual Sylvan Lake Clean up with the Sylvan Lake Commission. Student Awards:

Each year, at the Avon Elementary School graduation, the AEC presents an award to the 8th grade graduate with highest average in science.

It's that time of year! Young bull frogs from Sylvan Lake are starting to look for places to hibernate. If you find one in the road, please do the frog a favor and carefully shoo it to the nearest side of the street. The bull frog is a newer edition to the Sylvan Lake ecosystem and we would like to keep them around for years to come!
