The Chesapeake Bay is a cradle of our nation&'s infancy. Its richness has nurtured its people for centuries, but it has suffered from assaults that threaten our natural heritage and the health of the very people that have caused its injury. It is home to an important but still struggling oyster population, a population that has power to heal this water if it can get a chance to thrive again. This vast body of water is considered the largest estuary in the United States, and many rivers of Virginia serve as its tributaries. Our park is located within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, so what happens here impacts our Chesapeake Bay downstream. We will explore what watersheds are and how we can keep our watershed, the Chesapeake Bay, and our Atlantic coast clean. A touch table of significant natural objects in our watershed and its connections will be on display. A self-guided hike down to the Appomattox River for those interested in participating in a micro-pollution cleanup below High Bridge will start at the point duty touch table.
