Registration is now open for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund virtual All-Bay Agriculture Network Forum in six sessions from February 3 to March 3.

The Forum aims to bring together NGO, local, state, and federal ag conservation leaders and partners to share best practices, network together, discuss collaborative implementation strategies and opportunities for accelerating and scaling up sustainable agriculture and watershed restoration in the region.

The Forum will be organized around six intensive sessions focused on critical needs and opportunities in enhancing conservation delivery for the region, as informed by NFWF’s program partners, stakeholders, and the region’s agricultural community.

Each session will be delivered through a roughly 3-hour virtual program featuring a variety of informational presentations, panels, and case studies.
