The first and most important immediate goal of the EHSC is to promote community awareness and education of the issues regarding which our citizen have expressed the most interest.

An example is recycling, where many citizens have expressed a sincere desire to recycle all municipal solid waste, and yet, the economics of recycling, our geographic location and realities such as municipal contracts are all relevant and significant issues that must be addressed in designing any specific recycling program that best fits the City of Nichols Hills.

This webpage is a project of the EHSC’s Community Awareness and Education focus area and will be one of the primary methods of efficiently providing a wealth of information available to all Nichols Hills citizens with the click of a mouse.

EHSC Community Awareness and Education projects also underway include:

• America Recycles Day
• Earth Day 
• Public outreach efforts including distribution of promotional and educational materials.
• Publication of articles and regular columns in the Nichols Hills News and The Friday Newspaper, and the development of a lending library.
• Quarterly speaker series, with national figures and experts in significant areas of interest.
