Environmental Commission
Our goal is to protect Byram’s abundant natural resources and work with our Township's committees and residents to preserve our quality of life and keep Byram GREEN!
Located in the heart of the New Jersey Highlands, Byram Township is known as “The Township of Lakes,” having more than two dozen lakes and ponds within its 22.48 square miles. Byram Township is also the proud home of Allamuchy State Park, Waterloo Village, Wild West City and large areas of parkland with many, many miles of hiking, biking and cross-country skiing trails.
Established in October 1974, the Byram Township Environmental Commission participates in a broad array of Township issues. The ordinance establishing the Commission defines its responsibilities as "all things necessary to promote the conservation and development of the Township's resources, to provide the impetus and take leadership in natural resources planning, and to inform the public about local conservation programs and the need for conserving the natural resources of the Township." The Commission also reviews all applications before the Township Planning Board, including site visits and written comments submitted to the Board and applicants.
