What We Do

Results-Driven Impact and Collaboration for Clean Water

Since 1971, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay has served as the ‘backbone’ for action-oriented impact and collaboration across our watershed.

With four strategically placed offices and four focused programs, we’re positioned to solve downstream problems with upstream solutions. Through boots-on-the-ground solutions, technical assistance, and expertise, we prevent pollution where it begins – on the land – before it reaches our rivers and the Chesapeake.

By collaborating with like-minded individuals and organizations, the Alliance becomes a catalyst, building the capacity of others to join and accelerate clean water in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Fostering Partnerships and Building Resiliency

Making a difference in our watershed means building relationships with the individuals who live, work, and play throughout its lands and waters. Through a wide variety of projects, we connect people to their local rivers and streams, where they become directly involved in local restoration efforts.

Our combined approach of action and collaboration builds resiliency among our communities and landscapes to continually adapt to an ever-changing world. Staying true to our mission we remain results-driven and focused on the needs of our beloved watershed, For our Forests, For our Streams, For our Future.
