Woodbine’s Sustainable Jersey Green Team Presented with Certification Plaque

WOODBINE—Mayor William Pikolycky presented Woodbine’s Sustainable Jersey Green Team with a plaque certifying the Borough by Sustainable Jersey. 
Borough of Woodbine has been certified through 2018, with a total of 160 points, as a Sustainable Jersey Bronze community. Woodbine was first certified by Sustainable Jersey in 2009.
The Mayor presented the plaque at the Green Team’s March 17 meeting, at which time final plans were set for the Borough’s New Jersey Tree Recovery distribution on April 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bikepath Gazebo at the corner of Washington and DeHirsch Avenues. This is the second year the Green Team has coordinated this State-sponsored tree giveaway to local residents (for more information on the tree distribution, please contact Borough Hall).
The Green team also held a Green Fair last Columbus Day weekend, in conjunction with the Greater Woodbine Chamber of Commerce Carshow.
Woodbine met the rigorous requirements to achieve Sustainable Jersey certification and is one of 57 who attained certification in 2015. Sustainable Jersey’s participating communities represent over half the state’s municipalities and nearly 87 percent of its population.
Municipalities that earn this certification are considered by their peers, State government, experts and civic organizations in New Jersey to be among the leading communities in the state.
The Borough will be honored at the eighth-annual Sustainable Jersey Awards Luncheon at the November 2016 New Jersey League of Municipalities Conference.
