In this episode, we chat with Beth Whitehouse, Senior Director of Strategic Planning at Oglebay, a 2000-acre resort and public park in Wheeling, West Virginia with a history steeped in environmental stewardship. In addition to providing leisure and luxury activities and accommodations for the whole family, Oglebay is building a one-of-a-kind sustainable ecosystem–one that enriches the resort’s operations, guest experience, the broader community, and the planet alike. In partnership with businesses, donors, and local groups, Beth and team are tackling awesome sustainability initiatives, including a robust forestry management plan (think: removing invasive species, reforestation of native trees, and converting forest litter into biochar), and an innovative solar project to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs. Explore the park’s fascinating history and hear how today’s team continues to honor the founding vision, creating a greener future for their campus and community.
