EYE ON THE EARTH
Protecting the environment and maintaining green space is a year-round commitment in Cranberry Township.
In celebration of that commitment the Township will celebrate Earth Week with special events and educational programs.
Set for April 22-27, the week-long celebration kicks off on Earth Day, April 22, with an event at the Pollinator Meadow in North Boundary Park. The event will serve as a seedling giveaway to the first 150 people.
Persistence paid off for the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company.
Thanks to the diligence and support of the Company's leadership, the organization received an $836,046 Federal Emergency Management Agency Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant. It's another example of the Company's commitment to keeping the community safe.
