This summer, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay announced a new mini-grant program called Community Green Access (CGA). The Alliance is excited to award five projects across the watershed!
If you’re like me, you probably have a soft spot in your heart for the critters who reside in our watershed. Do you know how many species of plants and animals live here? Over 3,600!
