Welcome to my Chesapeake Bay Foundation Walk the Watershed page. During these unprecedented times, two things remain important to me: maintaining my personal health and supporting the CBF mission to save the Bay. I pledge to get outside, walk the watershed, and spread the Save the Bay message every step of the way!

Over the next few weeks, I hope to raise awareness and vital funding for CBF and our mission to save the Bay.  We work to improve the wellbeing of the 18 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals throughout the watershed. 

I work directly with landowners to plant trees, because, hey, what's not to love about a tree.  But beyond that, those trees are a key to cleaning our waters here in the upper watershed, which in turn cleans the Bay.  Trees are living filters that allow our streams to clean themselves up.  They also keep streams cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter, allowing the life in the stream to thrive.  

CBF is funded mostly by individual donors like you and me. Donations large and small help support CBF's on-the-water field experiences for students and teachers, tree plantings, oyster restoration, advocacy for stronger laws protecting the Bay, and litigation against polluters when necessary.

I hope you will support these efforts by donating to my page or by joining our team. 

Every gift makes a difference!

•     $25 can plant five native trees as a streamside buffer.
•     $50 can grow 5,000 native oysters.
•     $140 can send two students for a day of learning in and around the Bay.
•     $500 can build 10 reef balls which are effective and safe artificial homes for oysters.

Please donate on my page today and help me meet my fundraising goal and help CBF Save the Bay!
