We sat down with Terry Kauffman and Justin Sauder, two of the partner leads in East Earl Township.  What a great story about collaboration with landowners, foresight by leadership and a municipality making a difference!  We also played the most mixed-bag round of trivia.

This season finale is a celebration of the stories, the guests and the fun of our first season.  This episode was recorded live on Facebook from Stauffer Run in Lancaster, PA, so the audio is not as clear as it normally is.  To see the video, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzPBBWdoq2A.  Special thanks to Christina Martin, who served as our technical director during the live recording.
Thank you to everyone who made season 1 a success.  We will be back in September with season 2!

We hit the big time with this episode's guest!  Adam Ortiz is the Regional Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency!  He talks about collaboration, the work being done in PA and tests the limits of the acronym rule.  He also "phones a friend" during trivia (that's new)!  What a treat to have him on the show!

Don't forget to tell us what you like most about spring.  We will pick a random response and give the sender a prize!  [email protected]
