BayScapes
© Residence, Essex Md.
BayScapes is a conservation education initiative advocating environmentally-sound landscape management for Chesapeake Bay region homeowners and other residents. The program is sponsored by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. BayScapes promotes landscaping management that works with nature to reduce pollution and enhance wildlife habitat. It encourages a low input formula for yard care: less fertilizer and pesticide use, combined with less lawn area and the use of beneficial plants, equals less water use and less overall maintenance. The goal of the BayScapes program is to protect vital soil and water resources. Funding and Assistance The BayScapes does not provide financial assistance to participants, however technical assistance is available to participants.
