The Local Government Specialist independently manages projects related to watershed planning, capacity building and technical assistance for local governments within the Chesapeake Bay watershed (initially, focusing on portions of the Delmarva peninsula). By building strong relationships with small, under-resourced local government officials and collecting and reviewing relevant plans and data, the Specialist identifies potential forests and green infrastructure projects and collaborates with peers at the Alliance to plan for implementation of watershed best management practices. The Specialist works under the direction of the Local Government Initiative Director.
Since 1971, we’ve brought together communities, companies, and conservationists to improve our lands and waters. We strive for clean streams and rivers flowing through resilient landscapes, cared for by the people who live, work, and play in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The Alliance implements local programs that connect people to their waterways and becomes directly involved in restoration efforts. We have offices in Annapolis, MD, Lancaster, PA, Washington, D.C., and Richmond, VA.
Our shared goal is to build resiliency among our communities and landscapes to continually adapt to a changing world.
