Welcome

The Book - The Chesapeake Watershed helps create a Sense of Place in the reader and offers them a Call to Action to help save the Bay and our planet from a range of human impacts, including global warming. It is a timely book. Blending natural history and personal narrative, the author takes the reader into the murky shallows of the Bay to chase crabs, onto the Eastern Shore to hunt quail, and into the Piedmont to paddle through white water. At the end of each chapter, there are suggestions the reader can pursue to become a better steward of the watershed and our planet.

“These stories from the Chesapeake take you on a fascinating journey through nature and time, illustrating the importance of experiencing nature and the urgency of preserving it.”
Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
