HERE IN THE CHESAPEAKE, WERE WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO CONSERVE 30% OF THE CHESAPEAKES LANDS AND WATERS BY 2030, WHICH IS CRITICAL FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE, BIODIVERSITY AND WATER QUALITY. CONSERVING LAND AND FORESTS PROVIDES HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE AND DOES A JOB THAT NATURE INTENDED - FILTERING STORMWATER BEFORE IT REACHES THE BAY, HELPING TO PREVENT SEDIMENT AND NUTRIENTS FROM ENTERING OUR WATERWAYS. WHEN WE CONSERVE LAND, WE ALSO STRIVE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR RECREATION, OFTEN BY EXPANDING OR CREATING NEW PARKS AND WILDLIFE REFUGES. 1409112 0 216169 RESTORE STREAMS: TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS, CHESAPEAKE CONSERVANCY IS USING THE LATEST GROUNDBREAKING DATA AND PRECISION CONSERVATION TO CREATE A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT UPSTREAM, FOR A HEALTHIER CHESAPEAKE BAY DOWNSTREAM.
