Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization Inc. (MEVO)

Mission: To be the model for the creation of scalable ecological solutions that inspires and empowers people to take action for a better future.

MEVO (Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization, Inc.) is an environmental not-for-profit organization which carries out sustainability projects in Northern New Jersey. MEVO was founded in 2008 by then high school student Eric J. Fuchs-Stengel with the purpose of engaging community members and volunteers in projects that transform suburban communities to be environmentally sustainable. MEVO addresses local environmental concerns ranging from stopping illegal trash dumping throughout the indigenous community of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation to creating sustainable community farms, and building miles of low-impact hiking trails. In addition, we run a multitude of educational programs at our Fresh Roots Farm, local schools, and earth-fairs.

MEVO helps communities enact scalable ecological solutions to environmental issues in our local community, in order to inspire and empower individuals to makes positive change.
