 Submit Your Project!
Deadline: August 29th!
To qualify for the 2014 Registry, a project must have a direct impact on the Delmarva Peninsula and be focused on one or both of Waterfowl Chesapeake's core strategic priorities:
- Protecting and conserving critical waterfowl habitat and expanding food resources;
- Educating and involving citizens, landowners and policy leaders in community-based waterfowl conservation programs
Key evaluation factors will be the scale and connectedness of conservation assets and the degree to which the project will connect people to nature and raise awareness of the importance of conserving habitat for waterfowl.
Organizations with projects or initiatives meeting the criteria are encouraged to submit their projects for review in advance of the August 29, 2014 deadline.

A selection of the most significant projects will be highlighted at the 2014 Waterfowl Festival, November 14-16, 2014 in Easton, Md.

 About the Waterfowl Chesapeake Project Registry!
The Waterfowl Chesapeake Project Registry is the online repository of information to advocate and potentially generate funding for projects that advance the creation, restoration and conservation of waterfowl habitat in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and nearby coastal bays. Participation in the Registry will showcase and raise the profile of a project and may result in an independent endorsement that will benefit fundraising. It may also directly lead to new fund sources, although an award or direct grant is not part of this program at this time. Please email programdirector@waterfowlchesapeake.org or call 410-822-4567 with questions!
