The Bay Foundation's signature underwater grasses restoration program provides citizens with an aquarium-style kit to grow submerged plants for transplantation at restoration sites on the James, Rappahannock, and Potomac rivers. You can learn more about this program at www.cbf.org/grasses.
Prior to the restoration season beginning, our equipment must be tested, sorted, and bagged into kits for distribution.
Testing is quick work, and is great for friends and groups! Listen to music, enjoy snacks, and help support CBF's signature restoration program.
Wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, closed toe shoes, and bring a refillable water bottle. Everything else will be provided.
RSVP to Blair Blanchette at bblanchette@cbf.org or at 804-780-1392.

Mission Statement
Save the Bay™, and keep it saved, as defined by reaching a 70 on CBF's Health Index.
Description
Founded in 1967, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest independent conservation organization dedicated solely to saving the Bay. Serving as a watchdog, we fight for effective, science-based solutions to the pollution degrading the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams. Our motto, "Save the Bay," is a regional rallying cry for pollution reduction throughout the Chesapeake's six-state, 64,000-square-mile watershed, which is home to more than 17 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals.
With offices in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia and 15 field centers, CBF leads the way in restoring the Bay and its rivers and streams. Over the last four decades, we have created broad understanding of the Bay's poor health, engaged public leaders in making commitments to restore the Chesapeake, and fought successfully to create a new approach to cleanup that features real accountability-the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint.
But the Bay is still a system dangerously out of balance. We continue to engage in education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration to turn the tide and leave a legacy of clean water for future generations.
