About This Document
To assist land trusts and their partners in their land and water work, the Chesapeake Bay Land and Water Initiative develops and shares relevant resources on many subjects: policy, science, communications, fundraising and more.
Through February 2020, the Initiative had helped deliver 40 presentations and training sessions across the watershed and beyond, with more than 100 hours of original content reaching more than 1,800 people. We’ve highlighted some of the most requested and most utilized resources from our program.
