The Green- January 17, 2020

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

A series of dams along the Brandywine that date back some 200 years are targeted for removal or modification starting this year.

It’s part of an effort to allow shad, eels and other fish to return to their ancestral spawning grounds again for the first time in two centuries.

Contributor Jon Hurdle reports in this effort and its potential impact.

The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children has published a new ebook.  It’s called “Seven Things You Don’t Know About Your Child’s Digital Life.”

And the foundation's executive director, Patricia Dailey Lewis, recently spoke with Delaware Public Media’s Kelli Steele about the ebook - and why its crucial parents engage their kids about their “digital lives.”

Another part of the “Collecting Wilmington: Place, Perspective & Memory” exhibition is now on display.

The exhibition features the sprawling collection of Paul Preston Davis, a retired Delmarva Power executive who spent over four decades gathering Wilmington-centric items.

“Collecting Wilmington” is rolling out in 5 parts. This week, the third piece featuring sheet music in the collection was unveiled.  We talk to Delaware Historical Society Chief Curator Leigh Rifenburg to learn more about it.
