Our name means watershed defenders. A non-profit dedicated to helping the latino community connect with the natural world through knowledge, shared experiences, and opportunities to preserve and defend the chesapeake bay watershed for a healthier mind, body and soul.

Programs

1 program

Other programs: over the past year we have been able to engage thousands of community members, both in-person and online, across the chesapeake bay watershed with the goal of building a network of leaders who are taking action to support the environment. We create family friendly events that are welcoming and inviting to ensure positive connections to nature. We share information about the many benefits of a clean and healthy environment and how we can positively impact it. We invite students to earn their service hours to help make positive change and support their communities. Hundreds of volunteers, thousands of pounds of trash collected, hundreds of trees planted.
