To welcome new board members Robin Rinaca and Hank Badger, the VES Land Trust Board of Directors organized a cleanup challenge in partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s (CBF) Clean the Bay Day. “The VES Land Trust Board is devoted to serving and conserving the Eastern Shore community and the health of its precious natural lands and waters,” said President of the Board Karen Terwilliger, “Because litter negatively impacts the resources we protect, participating in Clean the Bay Day is a natural fit.”
VES Land Trust and SEAS help landowners combat eroding shorelines

When the slope to sea level is gradual, there is space for marshes to expand and migrate landward. However, land with higher elevations and structure and infrastructure in the way is less resilient.
