To assist citizens in becoming more effective advocates and supporters for the Chesapeake Bay, CBF has created a series of workshops. These workshops teach you valuable conservation and leadership skills which you can then use alongside CBF staff and volunteers. Led by veterans in their fields, CBF workshops strike a balance between issues of long-standing interest and current hot topics. There are no curriculum requirements and most workshops are free of charge. Workshop Index Restore Natural Systems Oysters Learn how to grow and maintain oysters from seed in their native habitat, and participate in the restoration of an oyster reef.
Healthy oysters help filter the Bay making it cleaner for plants, fish, and humans.
Reforestation Learn how to choose and plant native trees along key tributaries. Streamside buffers prevent erosion and help filter pollutants running off the land. Underwater Grasses Learn how to identify, plant, monitor, and restore grass beds in the Bay. Underwater grasses provide habitat for key Bay organisms.
