Save the Environment of Moorestown was founded in 1972 as a grassroots
organization with a mission to preserve, protect, and enhance the natural environment of Moorestown, New Jersey, for today and for future generations. STEM’s work over the years to address local environmental issues such as water and air pollution, solid waste disposal, & recycling also includes helping to preserve and protect Moorestown’s open spaces. Our Natural Area Care program helps to maintain these sites on an ongoing basis. We are always looking for new members. |
2023 Moorestown Environmental Resource Inventory Presentation
June 11, 2024 at 7PM at the Moorestown Library
The Moorestown Environmental Advisory Committee is making a presentation on June 11, 2024 at 7PM at the Moorestown Library on its 2023 Moorestown Environmental Resource Inventory (ERI).
The purpose of an ERI is to identify and describe the natural and cultural resources of a community at a particular moment in time. The new version of the ERI is the culmination of two years work (and thousands of volunteer hours by MEAC). MEAC in conjunction with Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) 3 dozen local, private and public and subject specialists created this peer reviewed document which was last updated in 2013.
In this presentation, Joan Ponessa (former Chairperson), Chris Salvatico (former Secretary) and Henry Balikov (current member) will discuss the responsibilities, production and results of the document. Both Joan and Chris are members of STEM's board and we are blessed to have their knowledge available to help chart STEM's direction.
Registration is required.
Register Online on the Moorestown Library Website.
The complete document is available online at the Township's website.

US Fish and Wildlife Service Highlight STEM
STEM teamed with Moorestown Township and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, (through their Partners for Wildlife Program) to convert the 75-acre fallow farm field at Swede Run Fields into a native grass and pollinator field. Planting of the field occurred in the fall of 2021 and spring 2022. The project is ongoing, with planning currently underway for wetlands enhancement on the site.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service chose this project to highlight their Partners for Wildlife Program's success in New Jersey in 2022. STEM is very proud of their involvement in this project and looks forward to continuing our partnership with the Township and US F&W Service to continue to restore this beautiful property.
