Video Blog- York Students Featured In Chesapeake Bay Local Action Video Showcase
|
|
“What are you doing to help the Chesapeake Bay on a local level?” That’s the question 15 groups from the Chesapeake Bay watershed’s six states and the District of Columbia answered for their local political leaders through the Chesapeake Bay Program’s first-ever Local Action Video Showcase this spring.
The videos showed citizens across the watershed working to do their part to restore the Bay. From river cleanups and rain garden plantings to best management practices and living shorelines, all of these groups are pitching in to help protect the Bay and their local rivers.
Students in York were one of the 15 groups showcased. York High students worked with Stewards of the Lower Susquehanna and York Audubon volunteers to improve the Willis Run Living Classroom in downtown York. This stretch of stream just above the Kiwanis Lake Important Bird Area provides additional habitat and feeding opportunities for the Night Herons and Great Egrets, while creating an educational area for students and the citizens of York.
The groups’ projects were showcased at the Chesapeake Executive Council meeting on June 3 in Baltimore.
