For many years, Seward residents have joined together in the interest of our natural environment. Ongoing projects serve the goal of protecting the Mississippi River bluff, protecting our lakes from pollution, and raising awareness of dangers in our air and soil. From community gardens to compost education and alternative power sources, the Environment Committee has always worked hard together to improve our quality of life. MeetingsCommittee meetings are normally held at 7 PM on the third Monday of the month at the Matthews Center, 2318 29th Ave. S.
