Ep 24: French Creek and the Magic of Home Waters, with Brenda Costa

Brenda Costa is the Executive Director of the French Creek Valley Conservancy, which is a private 501(c)3 non-profit land trust dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the exceptional water quality, natural habitat, biological diversity, and recreational opportunities of the French Creek Watershed in Northwest Pennsylvania. In this episode, Brenda shares her story with French Creek, how the FCVC works with landowners to protect the watershed, the amazing colonial and geologic history of the river, and the recreational opportunities available to people. An overarching theme of our discussion is the magic of having a home river like French Creek, which many people can probably relate to through their own small, local river.
