Want to help the watershed and be a Chesapeake Bay Hero yourself? Plant a native tree! Trees, of course, provide shade and promote better air and water quality, but native trees support caterpillars and birds as well! #ChesapeakeBayAwarenessWeek  https://bit.ly/45d9r5m

We’re halfway through Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week, and today’s theme is wildlife and land conservation! Did you know the North American beaver is making a comeback around the Chesapeake Bay? They are #HabitatHeroes because the dams that they build trap sediment, store groundwater, reduce nutrient pollution and create wetlands and habitat to support biodiversity! #ChesapeakeBayAwarenessWeek Learn more about this habitat hero! https://bit.ly/3Vvu5KE

Today’s theme of Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week is rivers, streams, and lands of the watershed. Did you know that the Chesapeake Bay watershed stretches as far west as West Virginia? In fact, West Virginia is the starting point for the North Branch of the Potomac River! The Potomac River runs over 383 miles from Fairfax Stone, WV to Point Lookout, MD and drains more than 14,670 square miles of land area. #ChesapeakeBayAwarenessWeek Check out more Potomac Basin facts! https://lnkd.in/eyQMziGx

Happy Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week! Today’s theme is the benefits of environmental protection.

From herons and ducks to rabbits and muskrats, learn about the wildlife that depend on wetlands. #ChesapeakeBayAwarenessWeek https://lnkd.in/ecMAGR4Z
