The Chesapeake Bay String of Pearls Project Honoring Those Who've Preserved Their Land and the Chesapeake Bay This Website is Under Construction.

Ned Hall

The Chesapeake Bay String of Pearls Project (CBSOP) celebrates, recognizes and records acts preservation of the lands affecting the integrity of the Chesapeake Bay with the hopes of inspiring other land owners to do the same. Whether through outright donation or land conservation easement, each CBSOP "Pearl" has been preserved into antiquity, thereby helping to create a web (or net) of strong, healthy lands protecting the bay. Just as pearls are not only beautiful, but they have an incredible strength that is not obvious when when the observer is merely enjoying them for their beauty, intact and healthy land is strong medicine for our Chesapeake Bay as it has the power to filter and slow incoming runnoff waters and protect the Bay from further harm. The Chesapeake Bay's String of pearls will appear to be dewdrops on a web (or Net) of protection for our Bay, widely spun (or cast) over the lands of six states and the District of Columbia. With each pearl, that web/ net will widen and strengthen and with this medicine, the Chesapeake Bay will rebound.
