Wenonah Environmental Commission

Welcome to this portal into the scenic natural beauty of Wenonah, New Jersey.  Come discover what makes our area special, what the WEC is doing to enhance it, and how you can help.

Coming Attractions:

• 14th ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE DAY HIKE: Take a relaxing, shaded stroll as you learn about the hidden treasures of our Conservation Lands and trails.  For all ages!  We'll meet at the corner of South West Ave. and West Cedar St. (originally announced location has changed!) on Monday, July 5th at 4:00 PM.  The hike will conclude at Lisle Field (Mantua Ave. and Hayes Ave.).  
• JULY MEETING: Wednesday, July 14th at 7:30 PM in the Community Center.

What's New:

• May 2010: An organization to advocate preservation of the Maple Ridge property has held its first meeting.  It will be called Friends of Maple Ridge.  A website and provisions for accepting tax-deductible private contributions are now in the works.  Direct contacts with state, county, and local officials are also underway.
• April 2010: The Gloucester County Times covered our well-attended April 14th meeting on the future of Maple Ridge.  Any announcements about an informational website will be made right here and on our email list.
• April 2010: Atlantic City Electric has installed 10 streetlamps in Wenonah which use new Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology.  LEDs promise dramatically reduced energy consumption and increased life compared to traditional streetlamps.  This is the first installation of its type in our region.  You can see these lamps in action on Mantua Avenue from Princeton Avenue west to Monroe Avenue.  Atlantic City Electric is interested in your comments during the six-month test period.
• January 2010: Welcome to Tommy Lombardo as the newest member of the WEC.
