The Alliance’s Washington, DC team had a very busy Earth Day this year! Instead of hosting our own event, we wanted to show support for local environmental community partners and chose to attend different events across the DC Metro Area to do so.

Wood ducks are one of those animals that just seems odd and out of place in our watersheds. But, wood ducks are native to the Bay, and call the Chesapeake home year-round.
The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is a group of volunteers representing communities and stakeholders from across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and is divided into three subcommittees. We interviewed the chair of each subcommittee to learn more about the expertise they bring to the CAC and how their unique panel is helping to restore the Bay!
We recently revamped our website navigation, and we are excited to share it with you.
The streets we travel during our evening walks or work commutes are full of twists and turns, bumps and curves. These same streets carry the oil that drips from our cars, the fertilizers we spray on our yards, the salt laid on the street in preparation for the snow that inevitably doesn’t fall, and many more pollutants.
Are you looking to celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, get your hands dirty, and make an impact? The Alliance will be at plenty of opportunities during both days! You can help plant trees, pick up trash, or simply learn from environmental/conservation experts about the Bay and what you can do to help protect it.
Large, charismatic wildflower blooms might get more screen time than some of the early tree blooms that are harder to appreciate or photograph from eye-level, but both are important to bee conservation, for both generalist and specialist species.
The Alliance kicked off our 21st Project Clean Stream season this past weekend! Collectively, we gather over 1200 pounds of trash throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Join me in celebrating the four community events we hosted.
Live staking is a tree propagation method that involves cutting a stem from certain species of trees and shrubs and driving them into the ground, where they will begin to grow.
I recently took advantage of a clear but brisk morning in early March to steal away to a gem of a property in the outskirts of Westminster, Maryland, the Wakefield Valley Golf Course. As I stood in the tee box of the third hole, a 549 yard par 5 with Copps Branch bisecting it at about 250 yards, I gazed out on the fairway and contemplated my strategy. Could we really reforest 22 acres of this city park in three days?
