Greener Workforce, Greener Chesapeake Bay Watershed
A healthy and thriving Chesapeake Bay watershed requires people power; increasing workforce development for green career pathways drives restoration as well as economically secure, strong communities. Organizations across the watershed are working to support students and professionals at all levels to grow a workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary to benefit our environment. How can we strengthen and scale these efforts to build the green workforce the Chesapeake Bay needs?
