Chesapeake Bay Education Website BayBackpack.com Launched
Check out our new website Bay Backpack, www.baybackpack.com<http://www.baybackpack.com/>, which provides educators with the resources they need to engage students in hands-on learning about the Chesapeake Bay.  This site is an online resource for teachers and environmental educators to engage students in hands-on learning about the Chesapeake Bay and its local waterways.

Bay Backpack provides educators with the necessary resources to give their students a Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE), which are extensive projects that allow students to gain a deep understanding of environmental issues in the Chesapeake Bay and its local streams and rivers.  Bay Backpack houses over 380 teaching resources on issues like pollution, development, farming and many other environmental topics.
