When Meade Cadot was growing up in the unincorporated area of Greenville, Delaware, the town consisted of a railroad depot, a lumber store and a two-lane road.
By the time he was in high school, the places he would walk his dog or go birding had been transformed into housing developments.
“Seeing all my favorite nature walking places turned into housing developments, that had a big impact on me,” Cadot said.
