Welcome to the Chesapeake Bay Trust resource library where you can find information on how you can help restore the Chesapeake Bay.

Teachers will find information on how to plan their next field trip for their classes, as well as resources and materials for bringing the Chesapeake Bay into their classrooms.

Looking for ways you can help reduce your home's impact on the Chesapeake Bay? Then the For Residents section is for you. Resources include native plant lists, information on how to install your own rain barrels and rain gardens, as well as local watershed organizations.
