The Delta Plan is built on two Coequal goals – water supply in balance with the needs of the ecosystem. But written into the very plan itself is a clear follow-up – that actions taken to support this balance must also bolster the idea of the Delta as a Place.
But what does that really mean? After all, any physical location can be “a place”, and not many other places have both state and federal legislation written about them! This very question is at the center of this episode of the Delta Dispatch, where we speak with guests Blake Roberts (Delta Protection Commission) and Elizabeth Patterson (Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area Advisory Committee) to learn about the people, stories, and heritage that earned the Delta a spot as a nationally recognized heritage area – and a place truly worth celebrating.
