Description

MARYLAND — A movie about the Chesapeake Bay watershed premiered last month. The film explores the past, present and future environmental health of the region. Residents can also take a nature paddle, learn about bird feeding during the fall migration or make an autumnal craft. Patch recently partnered with several local organizations to bring you their latest news. This guest contribution comes from National Park Service Chesapeake Gateways and Chesapeake Conservancy. Here's what Jody Hedeman Couser submitted to help you explore the Chesapeake Bay: "Water's Way: A Film About Our Watershed Water's Way: Thinking Like a Watershed, a film by Dave Harp and Tom Horton[,] first premiered at the Chesapeake Film Festival on Oct. 1, 2021. Take a journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay to experience the watershed as it was before colonization, after humans ravaged it, and how it could be if we learn to think like a watershed. Learning to appreciate and emulate beavers may be a key to understanding how we might once again experience a watershed resilient to flood and drought and a Chesapeake clean and clear. Watch the full movie." "American Indian Paddle The Chesapeake Bay was originally home to many American Indian tribes.
