Friends of the Harrison Township Public Library Meeting March 28th @ 7pm in the library
Harrison Township is ours to protect. Harrison Township is a natural coastline jewel that needs our protection. Let’s take pride in our community by placing litter and cigarette butts in receptacles. Properly dispose of all waste where you live, work, and play. Be responsible every day for the amazing surroundings in our township by picking up litter you see. Honor our beautiful and unique natural resources, our wildlife habitats, nature along the bike paths, areas in and around our lakes and watersheds, and throughout your neighborhoods and properties. We all deserve a clean community.
