Chesapeake Bay Foundation Good Steward Award

With support from thousands of volunteers, partner organizations and donors, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation has planted more than 2.2 million trees, restored 6,000 acres of wetlands and has added almost 20,000 acres of forested buffers along stream banks. Most recently, the Foundation has been a leader in the creation and implementation of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, a pollution reduction protocol involving Bay states with federal oversight.
