The 2024 Taste was another great success! Many thanks to our sponsors and friends for raising $116k for our mission to restore the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
When it comes to clean water, diverse communities require diverse solutions. Spanning more than 64,000 square miles across six states and the District of Columbia, the Chesapeake Bay watershed is home to roughly 1,800 local governments. At this vast scale, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving clean water.
On September 7, over 90 students and faculty members from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) came together the 2nd Annual HBCU/MSI Chesapeake Bay Summit to connect with the Bay, and each other.
In recognition of the National Day of Service on Wednesday, September 11, The Alliance kicked off the fall 2024 Project Clean Stream season in Pennsylvania, Annapolis, Washington, DC, and Virginia!
With its flat, coastal plains, Delmarva has a distinctive rural character with deep agricultural roots and strong ties to the water.
This past June, I attended my first Bernie Fowler Wade-In on the Patuxent River in Calvert County, Maryland. I was grateful to be in community with other clean water champions, carrying on important traditions. As a community, we collected one more piece of evidence that together, we can go farther.
Thank you to everyone who made the 2024 Volunteer Tree Planting Relay (Treelay) possible! Over the course of 24 hours, Alliance staff, partners, and 213 dedicated volunteers planted 4,200 trees in Pennsylvania and Maryland. That’s one tree every 21.6 seconds!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2024 Wild & Scenic Film Festival! 598 of our friends and partners gathered to enjoy the festival this year.
