The Clarke County High School Agriculture Department has been taking working camping trips to the Chesapeake Bay for 12 years. Every year we work with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, CBF, to provide our students the best in Environmental Education. For seventy-two hours the students receive an experience of their lifetime, one that they will never forget. The students will "eat, sleep, think, drink, smell, and feel" the environment they live in by camping out at one of the many CBF work centers located on the Chesapeake Bay. The guides that the CBF provide are excellent, knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic. This years crew of Sally, David and Captain Dennie is an excellent example of the leadership provided to the students on these trips. Please contact the CBF to see how your school, church group civic organization can help in restoring the Chesapeake Bay.
The following information will be helpful in your Internet research for the
Chesapeake Bay paper. The paper is due on December 19, 2000. If you have any
questions about your Bay paper, check the grading
procedure.
If you are interested in reading about the Chesapeake Bay, check out some of these Bay Books at the local library or contact your local book store. If you can't find them at either place, e-mail me and I will send you information on purchasing them. By the way, they make great presents (I put this in just in case my relatives might read this - especially my Dad).
Before you head out to surf the net for information, check out these pictures of the 1999 Bay trip to Tylerton, Maryland located on Smith Island.
