Pet Waste Station Program and Friend of the Chesapeake Bay Plate

Pet Waste Station Program

Pet Waste Station Program - When pet waste is not picked up, it becomes a major source of bacteria and nitrogen pollution in our lakes, streams and rivers.  Apply for a free pet waste station for your community and help keep local waterways clean. This program is funded in part by the “Friend of the Chesapeake” license plate.


Friend of the Chesapeake Bay

The Chesapeake Bay is among the nation’s greatest natural resources and one of its most challenged bodies of water. Chesapeake Bay seafood is prized around the world and Virginia ranks third in the nation for seafood production. A cleaner Bay is also good for business – more tourism, more seafood and more jobs. That’s why we need help from Virginians like you to keep the bay clean. Please consider buying a Bay license plate. Proceeds from the sale of these plates will help citizens keep the bay healthy by restoring wetlands, planting buffers around waterways, promoting marine life restoration, decreasing pollution and providing educational programs. Each year dozens of grants totaling more than $350,000 are distributed throughout Virginia’s Bay region to qualifying grant applicants.  Now you can join the cause from your car by becoming a Friend of the Chesapeake Bay.  For a $25 annual fee you can have personalized revenue-sharing license plates with $15 going to the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund. So, Bay friend, what’s on your plate?
