Why it matters

Your miles can help move conservation forward

Chesapeake Conservancy works across the watershed to protect lands, restore streams and use science and technology to help communities make smarter conservation decisions.

Joining the team helps introduce more people to that work. If you choose to fundraise, every gift through your personal page supports Chesapeake Conservancy’s mission across the watershed.

Already registered with the CC team?

You can create a personal fundraising page in just a few minutes. Add a photo, share why the Chesapeake matters to you and send your unique link to friends and family.

Fundraising is optional. We’re excited to have you on the team whether or not you choose to fundraise.

Cross the bridge. Connect with the Chesapeake. Help protect what makes it special.
