February 23rd at 1PM | Register Here

Last year NFWF completed an independent, third-party evaluation of the Chesapeake Bay Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants program. Joined by NFWF and the evaluation team with The Stewardship Network, CBFN is excited to host an upcoming webinar to explore final evaluation findings, learn about prospective NFWF actions and next steps, and workshop potential collaborative development needs and opportunities.

This webinar will build from an interim briefing provided by the evaluation last year and provide a venue to learn from and discuss this exciting evaluation, which is providing important momentum for NFWF’s continued focus on supporting collaborative models for Chesapeake Bay watershed restoration.
