Mosquito samples collected by Penn State Cooperative Extension on August 10, 2010 in Newberry Township have tested positive for West Nile Virus.  All residents are asked to be responsible and help eliminate mosquitoes.  Please inspect your property for sources of stagnant water that can collect in tarps, tires, buckets, construction debris, trash, pools, birdbaths, etc.  Eliminating these sources of stagnant water is the best method to reduce mosquito populations that can transmit West Nile virus.

Adopt-A-Highway Program

 Newberry Township’s Adopt-A-Highway program is an effective way to reduce litter and the overall cost of litter removal in the Township.  By volunteering to clear a portion of a township roadway, two times a year, you and/or your group are caring for the environment and helping to minimize our maintenance cost. 

Newberry Township will provide complete safety training for volunteers as well as safety apparel vests and highway warning signs to be used during litter pick-ups.  The Township also provides trash bags and will pick-up the bagged litter from the roadside.  Volunteers must be at least ten years old and participants under 18 must be accompanied by adults.

If you and/or your group are interested in volunteering for Newberry Township’s Adopt-A-Highway Program, please call the Township’s administrative office at 717-938-6992 and ask for the Manager, Don Keener to obtain more information.

By helping to keep Newberry Township’s roads clean for our residents, as well as the those who travel our roads every year, you are making an important contribution to taking care of the environment.   We greatly appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
