Bay Hundred Project Team: Having just completed their pilot project in the lower Choptank, testing strategies for increasing residential and agricultural best management practices on private lands, the team is working with Envision partners to extend several strategies, including the use of Landowner Assistance Coordinators, throughout the watershed.

Did you know that there are not one, but two people whose job it is to come visit your property (both agricultural and residential), discuss which best management practices (BMPs) are right for you and your land, and help you install them? Their names are Whitley Gray and Josh Biddle, and they can help with everything from rain gardens, to wetland restoration, to developing a plan to maintain BMP measures you’ve already installed.

Envision the Choptank has been awarded a $1 million grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund to accelerate the implementation of restoration practices throughout the Choptank River watershed with the goal of improving water quality and reducing nutrients and sediment.
