Swedesboro Commission member Lynne Bussott removing debris from the lake.

The Swedesboro-Woolwich Township Environmental Commission held a ‘Pop-Up’ Clean up event to help keep Swedesboro Lake Park beautiful last weekend. It was a tremendous success.

Swedesoro Council President, Sam Casella, working to remove debris from the lakes edge.

The Borough of Swedesboro lowered the lake so residents could tend to their lakefront properties.  The Environmental Commission also cleaned around the edges of the lake removing debris.

Groups, families and individuals were encouraged to participate in this fun volunteer event with free food, drinks and giveaways.

The Swedesboro/Woolwich Joint Environmental Commission was formed in 2013 when the Swedesboro Environmental Commission joined with the Woolwich Township Environmental Commission in an effort to better protect the development and/or use of natural resources including water sources, located within the territorial limits of the Borough of Swedesboro and Woolwich Township.
