By promoting the establishment and support of EACs across the Commonwealth, the EAC Network is helping local officials to make sound environmental decisions within and across municipal boundaries. Environmental Advisory Councils are appointed volunteers at work protecting the environment through project implementation, site plan and ordinance review, community education and much, much more. Explore this site to learn about the success of EACs in Pennsylvania, how they operate, where they are, and what you could do to start an EAC in your community. The EAC Network Website is a project of the PA Environmental Council and GreenTreks Network, Inc. with support from the PA DEP and PA DCNR.
