Chesapeake Bay Program

Want a beautiful way to show your neighbors how much you love your watershed? It’s as easy as taking a pledge!

Many local watershed organizations offer official yard signs to recognize residents who commit to clean-water habits. Whether you’re reducing fertilizer, using a rain barrel, or planting natives, you deserve to show off that hard work.

Three programs celebrating homeowners are the:
💧The James River Association's River Hero Homes program ➡️ https://ow.ly/1kiF50Y0Onv
💧The Elizabeth River Project's River Star Homes program ➡️ https://ow.ly/fF4O50Y0Onw
💧The City of Norfolk's Bay Star Homes program➡️ https://ow.ly/Wj3y50Y0Onx

Contact your local watershed organization to see what programs are available in your area!
