MEAC has a three (3) year term that expires the 3rd Monday in December.

Ongoing EAC Projects
- Morrisville Riverfront Preserve Restoration: The MEAC is working on behalf of the Borough in coordinating the ongoing restoration efforts at this 8.8 acre naturalized riparian area. We have been successful in securing County and Federal grants, as well as donations, to fund the project. The MEAC has developed an informational brochure describing the Preserve and its value as natural lands preservation. Volunteers for stewardship events are always needed. The Preserve is located at Delmorr and Philadelphia Avenues.
- Annual Graystone Woods Cleanup: Every Spring volunteers are organized to remove debris and selected invasive plants from this six-acre Woodland Forest. Graystone has historical, geological, and ecological significance, and is preserved as a natural land preservation site. Graystone Woods is located on Crown Street.
- Annual Riverfront Cleanup: Each Spring, volunteers participate with the MEAC at the Morrisville Riverfront Preserve, located at Delmorr and Philadelphia Avenues.
