The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) has released its 19th annual Chesapeake Bay and Watershed Report Card, showing a decline in overall Bay health from the previous C+ rating to a grade of C.

The Chesapeake Bay Trust has awarded Salisbury $148,267 to plant 834 native trees across the city. 

A living black history site opened Monday in Wicomico County, one of the few such monuments in the country.

Millions of dollars have been made available for projects to help restore the Chesapeake Bay.

Millions of dollars in grant awards will be going to support the conservation efforts of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

The Chesapeake Bay watershed received an overall grade of C+ on its latest report card, released Monday by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

This year’s Arbor Day celebration is notable as it marks the 150th anniversary of the national observance. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore has teamed up with the Maryland Forest Service for a tree planting ceremony on April 29 to serve as one of the statewide kick-off events aiming to be a catalyst to meet the state’s tree canopy goals.
