Coffee Talk

Above: Members of the Resilient and Sustainable Communities League learn about dune erosion and preservation in Slaughter Beach, Delaware.

In April, Delaware’s Resilient and Sustainable Communities League (RASCL) headed to Slaughter Beach for its first outdoor coffee hour. Held quarterly, RASCL's coffee hour meetings discuss best practices on planning and building physically sustainable communities in the First State. Just in time for Earth Month, the group headed to this small town by the Delaware Bay to see examples of dune erosion and active dune preservation. Attendees included the mayor and vice mayor, practitioners from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and Delaware Sea Grant, project managers from an architectural and design firm, and members of the public.
