At this point in the winter, most of the green you see when looking around in the forest is from our native ferns, conifers, and mosses. However, if you take a closer look at the understory, you may see some green that doesn’t come from one of our native species.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Alliance’s 18th Annual Chesapeake Watershed Forum, both in person and virtually!
To reach more restoration and protection practitioners with this watershed-wide event, the Alliance provides virtual Watershed Forum sessions to inspire and empower local action towards clean water, regardless of where you’re tuning in!
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay is seeking landscape designers/architects or trail builder groups to respond to this Request for Proposals (RFP). We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Amelia Street School in Richmond, the National Park Service, and Virginia Commonwealth University to create a concept plan for an outdoor trail on the Amelia Street campus.
Clean water and resilient landscapes, cared for by all the people who live, work, and play in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. That’s the Alliance’s vision, and we are working on another piece of the puzzle that makes that vision clearer: community-based stream monitoring.
The Alliance has had another growth spurt! Please join us in welcoming nine new team members across the watershed.
