Where Conservation Meets Community.
On a warm day, elementary-aged children gather to learn
about and construct a rain garden outside the Children’s
Theater of Annapolis. The garden will transform its space
not only by making it a landscaping feature but also a vital
tool in sustainable suburban development. Across the
county, other children attend a hands-on environmental
education program in oyster restoration, water-based
skills, and Chesapeake Bay conservation efforts at
Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park’s Bay Discovery
Club. These are just two of the ways nonprofits are using
CFAAC’s Environment Anne Arundel Fund to create a
cleaner and healthier local environment.
Stormwater runoff and erosion control are major
concerns for our priceless Chesapeake Bay and many
nonprofits are using grants from this fund to help fund
projects such as green communities, averting stormwater
pollution, and engaging students in bay restoration. With
44 grants totaling more than $260,000 distributed to date,
Environment Anne Arundel Fund addresses environmental
challenges and promotes Chesapeake Bay preservation.
