Landscape architecture students work with the Coastal Resilience Design Studio on a plan for Milton
Like much of Sussex County, Milton, Delaware, is on the cusp of significant development. But what makes Milton attractive also makes it vulnerable.
Located at the head of the Broadkill River, which runs 13 miles from Wagamons Pond to the Delaware Bay, Milton is one of many coastal communities susceptible to sea level rise and to surges from increasingly intense storms.
Over the summer, landscape architecture majors Bri Egan, Cate Boettger and Talia Brinker worked as undergraduate Community Engagement Summer Scholars with the Coastal Resilience Design Studio (CRDS) on a community resilience plan for Milton.
