Climate-based practices leverage innovations in agricultural practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Nature-based practices leverage natural processes to improve water, soil, and air quality long-term. Using resources like native plant species helps rebuild resilient, biodiverse systems on farms. These systems work to restore ecosystem function and, when maintained, become more effective with time.
Trossbach Farm in Dameron, Maryland was losing its shoreline due to erosion. The Alliance and partners were able to design and implement a living shoreline to preserve the land and prevent thousands of tons of sediment pollution from entering the Chesapeake Bay.
Nestled between Shade Mountain to the north and Tuscarora Mountain to the south, the county is the epitome of rural Pennsylvania, with rivers and creeks meandering through deep valleys and towering ridges.
Data centers have become the backbone of our digital world, supporting fast internet and easy access to endless information. Here in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, their rapid spread has transformed the landscape.
Pastures are a huge component of agriculture in the watershed. From large-scale beef operations to hobbyist miniature horses, everyone grazing has an opportunity to not only sustain, but also to regenerate their pastureland.
Soil health practices help address challenges and build more resilient farms. These practices on croplands can help reduce the runoff coming from farms by reducing the loss of topsoil, increasing water infiltration, and reducing the need for fertilizers.
As green summer foliage transforms to blazing ambers and yellows of autumn, we are reminded of nature’s graceful rhythm of change, adaptability, and endurance. For us at the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, this season isn’t just about beautiful foliage: we have trees to plant, communities to clean up, and farmers to support.
BMPs are cutting-edge agricultural practices that increase yields, reduce management needs, and promote ecological and environmental health.
Last month, the Alliance hosted students and faculty members from universities across MD and DC at the 3rd Annual HBCU/MSI Chesapeake Bay Summit. Students and faculty members brought expertise and passion for an array of academic backgrounds, including biology, environmental science, business, and creative studies.
