Alliance For Chesapeake Bay Sponsoring Local Action Video Showcase
|
|
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay is sponsoring a first ever Local Action Video Showcase to give people the opportunity to show how they are doing their part of protect water quality in the Chesapeake Bay drainage area.
Entries are due May 14.
Are you doing your part to help your local river, stream, or the Chesapeake Bay in your community? Is your local watershed group, school group, community or municipality restoring a shoreline, replacing a parking lot with porous pavement, planting rain gardens, holding cleanups or doing other restoration work to protect your local waterways?
Grab your camera and send us a short video that shows what you’re doing in your community to help your local waterway or the Chesapeake Bay. We’ll use all the video submissions to create a collective video that highlights all the local work being done throughout the Bay watershed – from New York to Virginia, West Virginia to Delaware – to restore and protect the Bay and its many streams, creeks and rivers.
The collective video will be shown to representatives and elected officials from throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed – including Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia – during the annual Chesapeake Executive Council meeting on June 3. The Chesapeake Executive Council includes Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell and District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty.
Additionally, submitted videos will be included in a feature on the Chesapeake Bay Program's website in early June about local restoration work throughout the Bay watershed.
