The Conservation Fund and USDA Forest Service authored a first-of-its kind study, The State of Chesapeake Forests, which reports on the health of Chesapeake Bay forests and on the forests’ impact on the bay’s health. The study finds that although forests do more to protect the bay’s water quality than any other land cover, these natural filters are disappearing at a rate of more than 100 acres a day.
