Building a Resilient Downtown | Orleans' Ecological Infrastructure Project (S3, 09)
What does it take to make Downtown Orleans more resilient to flooding, water quality threats, and a changing climate?
We sit down with Elizabeth Jenkins from the Town's Planningand Community Development department along with Peter Flinker and Nate Burgess from landscape architecture firm Dodson & Flinker to find out - and along the way, we uncover some surprising local history.
In this episode:
• The difference between ecological, green, and grey infrastructure
• Why saltmarshes are one of Orleans' most important climate defenses
• The buried story of Jeremiah's Gutter - the Cape's first canal
• Phragmites: the invasive plant blocking the view at Window on the Cove
Want to get involved? Join the Community Charrette on June 5–6 and help shape the future of Downtown Orleans.
