Overview: The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to the goal of saving the Chesapeake Bay. We do this through environmental advocacy, outreach, and education. There are on-going and seasonal volunteer opportunities with CBF, and potential to create UofR specific events. There is an upcoming event in need of volunteers on April 19th, 2008. We need volunteers to be a part of Earth Day Richmond with us.
Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Various volunteer opportunities are available through CBF such as tree plantings, stream clean-ups, oyster restoration, and underwater grass restoration. Volunteers can also help us on various projects in our Richmond office.

Oyster Restoration: Want to restore the oyster population in Virginia? You can help by raising native oysters in CBF's oyster gardening program.
