CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION

Editor’s Note

As the end of the calendar year draws near and the holiday season approaches, it is a wonderful time to reflect and give thanks.

Personally, I give thanks for my family and friends and the opportunity I have at CBF to help leave a legacy of healthy rivers and streams and a saved Bay.

As I review these pages, so much more comes to mind: the dedication of CBF staff, members, and volunteers who work tirelessly every day for clean water across the region (pages 12-13 and 18-19); the rich traditions of our Chesapeake culture (pages 8-11); the untouched splendor of special places in our environment (page 17); the bounty of our waterways (pages 14-16); and the young people that will guide the future (page 20).

With still-present threats to our Clean Water Blueprint (page 5), I also think about giving more, so that we may be giving thanks for many years to come.
