🌊 Good news for the Chesapeake Bay, but there’s more work to do.

The Chesapeake Bay has earned its best overall health report card in 40 years, receiving a C+ grade. That’s encouraging progress, but the Lower Susquehanna watershed, which includes Lancaster County, received a D+.
The message is clear: our efforts are making a difference, but we can’t let up. From farmers and municipalities to nonprofits, businesses, and community members, every contribution matters.
At Lancaster Clean Water Partners, we believe collaboration is key to achieving Clean and Clear Water by 2040. By working together, sharing solutions, and continuing to invest in local waterways, we can build on this progress and create healthier streams and rivers for our communities.

October is also Riparian Buffer Month!🌲 Fall is the perfect time plant trees as temperatures cool and trees enter dormancy, experiencing less stress and transplant shock when going into the ground.
Riparian buffers play a vital role in filtering pollutants, preventing erosion, reducing flooding, and protecting wildlife.
