New PPL "Tree Clearing" Policy

On March 22, 2013 Waverly Township was notified by PPL of a change in their policy regarding tree trimming in Waverly Township (and all other townships).  The Township Shade Tree Commission will be meeting soon to discuss the implications to our Township and develop a path forward to work with the power company on implementing this policy within the Township.

Waverly Twp. establishes Disc Golf Course

The township has installed a 9 Hole Disc Golf Course on the recreational field adjacent to the township municipal office on Lake Henry Drive.  The course was designed by Township Supervisor Dr. Douglas Klamp. Professional disc golf course designer, Dan Doyle, assisted with the placement of some of the tee areas and target locations.  Professional-grade disc golf targets have been installed by the township maintenance staff.  The course is available for use by area residents, environmental conditions permitting.  An additional 9 holes are planned for future development in the area below and west of the sewer treatment lagoons.  The township now has various discs available for purchase at the township municipal office during regular business hours, or golfers may bring their own discs to play the course.  The discs may be purchased at a cost of $ 10.00 @.  Disc Golf is a very enjoyable recreational activity for all members of the family.

Old School House Restoration

Area residents continue efforts to preserve Waverly's One-Room Schoolhouse on North Abington Road in the village.  With a small grant from the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, matched with private donations, work has begun this summer to stablilize the c. 1830 structure.  Work under this grant included the removal of standing water, creating new drains, removing interior plaster, lathe & debris, patching portions of the roof and installing interior supports.

Currently the group is working with the non-profit Community Assistance Center, Marywood University and the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority to further other aspects of the project.

The schoolhouse, one of the oldest in Northeastern Pennsylvania, was built by Elder John Miller to serve as a meeting place to educate the first settler's children, including African Americans who had been enslaved.  It was also used as a house of worshipfor our area's first congregations prior to building their respective churches.  This small building represents Waverly's earliest history and much work is still needed to preserve it.

This group of volunteers is seeking help and donations in its efforts to preserve this historic building.  For more information contact Maryellen D'Andrea @ (570) 575-1006.  The volunteers thank the following for their generous donations to the project:  Judge Gutter Company, Sherwin-Williams, Ivane to Paint, LHVA, Dalton Fire Co., private donors, residents & professionals who have been contributing their time and efforts.
