The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay was recently awarded $1 million to continue bringing on-farm conservation practices to Pennsylvania farms that are part of the Alliance’s corporate partnerships!
The end of 2023 brings us to the close of another fabulous year of green infrastructure in Washington, DC! “‘Tis the season for stormwater management” is how the carol goes, right?
With every year that our Chesapeake community works together to restore clean water to our rivers and streams, we learn more.
This semester’s Environmental projects Intern, Jordan Oliver, from Bowie State University, has concluded his time with the Alliance! The fall 2023 term brought some very special times which included monthly water quality monitoring, events, networking relationships, and exciting professional development opportunities.
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.
Beneath a creek’s waters lives an entirely different ecosystem of critters that would not look out of place from the movie franchise, Alien, clinging to rocks and crawling on the submerged substrate. Despite their less than loveable features, a stream’s aquatic benthic macroinvertebrates are great indicators of stream health.
This season there were plenty of warm sunny days to be spent on the Bay. In fact, one weekend in particular was more seasonable than most when I attended a retreat along the shores of the Bay herself.
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!
