Landowners and farmers have implemented stewardship practices to protect the Chesapeake Bay and some of these people do not even realize they have done it! An effort is currently underway to catalog all the voluntary set-back and surface water protection practices farmers and landowners have implemented with no government payment or assistance. If you own land along a creek, stream, or river where you maintain a permanent vegetative cover and you keep fertilizers and livestock away from the stream bank please consider reporting this acreage.
