Volunteering is a great way to take action and get involved in the Alliance’s critical work to restore and protect the Bay and its watershed lands, creeks, rivers and streams. Our volunteers are at the heart and soul of our mission to lead and inspire those who live and work throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed to become true environmental stewards.
Help out at a Project Clean Stream cleanup site, collect local water quality samples, organize the planting of native trees in your community — as an Alliance volunteer you are our most important resource helping us to fulfill our mission to heal the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay is looking for volunteers to join us in planting nearly 3,000+ trees across the Commonwealth this spring! Consider attending a tree planting and be a part of restoring Pennsylvania’s lands and waters.

Last October, the Alliance hosted back-to-back tree plantings in a first-ever relay-style event to get over 5,000 trees in the ground over a 24-hour period. Known as “Treelay,” the event took place at 8 different sites across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and volunteers planted continuously for 24 hours straight. Our team will hold the next Treelay in 2024.

Do you want to become a Volunteer Water Quality Citizen Scientist and gain hands-on experience collecting data and water samples throughout the District? The District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) awarded a grant to Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to continue the implementation of a DC-based citizen science water quality monitoring program with the goal of providing up-to-date, weekly water quality data to residents and visitors by sampling for bacteria, turbidity, pH, air and water temperature weekly from May-September.
