Episode 3 - Sustainability, Watersheds and Stewardship

What a great conversation with Cindy Mehallow. From her childhood adventures along Fox’s Run right here in Newtown Square to the work she’s doing today, it’s clear that her love for nature has only grown. Whether it’s through the Environmental Advisory Council or her role as a Penn State Master Watershed Steward, Cindy brings such genuine passion and real-world experience to everything she does. She’s not just talking about sustainable gardening—she’s out there doing it, helping others learn, and making a real difference in our community. If you’re feeling inspired, there are lots of simple ways to getinvolved. You can start by tuning into Newtown Square’s EAC meetings, signing up for the township newsletter, or checking out local groups like Newtown Square in Bloom and Parks and Rec. And of course, one of the most powerful things you can do is take action right in your own yard—plant a native species, skip the pesticides, and create a space that supports pollinators and wildlife. Thanks for listening. Remember—it all starts with one small step, one native plant, and one neighbor at a time.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
