The Bristol Township Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC), working with staff liaison and Parks & Recreation Director Jessia Ireland, announced the creation of the Bristol Township Student Environmental Excellence Award.
This award will recognize high school and college students from Bristol Township who display extraordinary commitment to environmental conservation and stewardship.
The award will be open on a rolling basis to students in good academic standing. The requirements and application for the award can be found by clicking the link Student Environmental Excellence Award Application or on the EAC’s page or the Bristol Township website.
“Our hope for this program is to encourage passion for the environment, and to help the students that are granted this award further their professional development,” says EAC Chairman Kody Brittingham.
Award winners will be issued a certificate from the Township, as well as a digital badge for their social media profiles. Their work will also be shared online on the EAC social media platforms.
The EAC recently announced a social media engagement effort “Species Spotlight” aimed at raising environmental awareness among a younger audience. That series, in began running on the Lower Bucks Source Meta page on Thursday and will continue to do so weekly at 12:30 pm, in coordination with EAC officials.
