Call for Stewardship Co-Chair

The Chesapeake Bay Program's Stewardship Workgroup is seeking a co-chair to lead the workgroup alongside the current chair. This workgroup is part of the Fostering Chesapeake Stewardship Goal Implementation Team (GIT 5). This voluntary position leads and coordinates the work of the Stewardship Workgroup, with support from the GIT 5 coordinator and staffer. This is an opportunity to work with a broad team of partners within the Chesapeake Bay watershed representing government and nongovernment entities, to have significant impact on shaping and achieving commitments to public stewardship, and to diversifying the people who participate in and benefit from these efforts. The GIT 5 workgroups will have increasing opportunities to interact and collaborate with each other and with other workgroups within the Bay Program, for collective impact that crosses among stewardship, education, land conservation and public access. For additional information, please see the attached announcement.

Stakeholder Interview Report School Recognition Programs and BMPs on School Grounds

This report presents findings on the implementation of BMPs on school grounds, the integration of BMPs in student and community learning, and the influence of sustainability recognition programs. Through a series of interviews of Sustainable/Green School Recognition programs (GSRP) and schools/school districts from the District of Columbia (DC) and each state in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, we found the implementation of BMPs varies quite significantly, affected by age of the school (building codes), location (individual initiatives) and size of school district (larger districts often have more resources such as funding, facility and sustainability personnel). Throughout the interview findings it is clear that many opportunities exist for schools and school districts to be an important partner in efforts to expand BMP implementation and adoption that would enhance environmental literacy and Chesapeake Bay restoration goals.
