A rain garden captures stormwater runoff pollution at the Knollwood Life Plan Community in Northwest Washington, D.C., on July 17, 2024. The retirement community installed the example of green infrastructure in partnership with District Stormwater. The rain garden, bordering the Knollwood parking lot, is estimated to capture 2.2 million gallons of runoff annually, filtering it using nature-based processes before it reaches Rock Creek, the Potomac River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. The new rain garden is approximately 4,700 square feet and captures runoff from 1.6 acres of impervious surface. It includes a variety of native and flowering plants that will provide habitat and food for pollinators. (Photo by Rhiannon Johnston/Chesapeake Bay Program)

A dwarf palmetto grows at the Midfield Wetlands Walk in Norfolk, Va., on July 26, 2024. Since 2016, the Lafayette Wetlands Partnership has restored the area by first removing invasive species, including 12,000 square feet of invasive common reed, known as phragmites, and a number of invasive plants in Elwood Meadow. In their place, 14 volunteer events were held to plant native species, including 4,000 plugs of native grasses and other herbaceous plants, and additional larger plants, shrubs and trees.

Tree leaf buds extend above Kishacoquillas Creek near its confluence with the Juniata River in Lewistown, Pa., on April 10, 2018. In 2010, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy received a Chesapeake Bay Small Watersheds Grant for $50,000 from the National Fish & Widlife Foundation to implement conservation practices on four farms in order to improve the health of Kishacoquillas Creek and downstream waterways. The project supported the installation of 7,080 feet of streambank fencing as well as other measures to reduce livestock impacts on streams, stabilize streambanks, and provide habitat for fish.

Atlantic sturgeon are an endangered species that is slowly recovering after centuries of harvest. “The population is still low compared to what it should be, but it's not nearly as bad as we thought,” Balazik said. “And that's really good, because it takes a long time for you to get these adult fish.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
