6th Annual Green Fair - April 27
Thank you to all who attended Bordentown Township and Chesterfield’s 6th Annual Green Fair on April 27th. The Bordentown Township and Chesterfield Environmental Commissions educated residents on green policies and initiatives while giving out free trees. Residents and attendees also learned about animal control, composting, tree planting and how to build a rain barrel. Pollination Station representatives talked about various unusual pollinators and how animals, that are not traditionally considered to be pollinators, help our trees and flowers reproduce. The representatives also brought a live screech owl to educate attendees on their importance in the wild.
Thank you to Blind Lemon Pie, who played music during the event and the various vendors including local farms, plant nurseries, students who educated people on proper recycling, portable wooden tables, a local moms of twins group, a solar vendor and others.
Congratulations to the Green Fair photo contest winner, Jessica Harris in entering her image of the Delaware River. Bordentown Township and Chesterfield would like to thank all those who took the time to enter over a dozen photographs and the residents that voted.
