In the Choptank River watershed, located in Delaware and Maryland, a multi-stakeholder collaborative works to improve water quality by developing locally driven projects that benefit the community and the environment. In this episode of the “Clean Water Pod” podcast, listeners will learn about the unique approach and successes of the Envision the Choptank partnership.
Host Jeff Berckes first speaks with Joanna Ogburn, who serves as the coordinator of Envision the Choptank and is the principal and founder of JBO Conservation, LLC. He then talks with a partner of Envision the Choptank, Leslie Grunden, who helps develop and implement water quality projects through her role as the assistant director of planning with the Caroline County Maryland Department of Planning and Codes.
