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.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
