  Bayscapes - Maryland
 

The Alliance continues to perform Bayscaping projects throughout the state of Maryland. Many of these projects are now performed in conjunction with the RestoreCorps program, partnering with local watershed groups and volunteers. In 2005, we joined up with the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, the Prettyboy Watershed Alliance, the Chester River Association, and the Little Patuxent Watershed Association to create demonstration BayScape gardens. Please see below links for past BayScapes projects in Maryland.

BayScapes are environmentally-sound landscapes benefiting people, wildlife, and the Chesapeake Bay. BayScaping advocates a holistic approach to landscaping through principles inspired by relationships in the natural environment.
