The Chesapeake Bay Trust: partnering to promote environmental stewardship through restoration, education, and community engagement. Through our work, the Trust has a measurable impact in building environmental stewards committed to improving the environmental health of their local communities and the Chesapeake Bay. Our impact extends beyond feet of shoreline restored or number of trees planted, it is also measured in lives touched, when people gain a new appreciation for the Bay and the land and water within its watershed.
