Worcester County to Tangier Island - Summer 2026
Open to Worcester County, MD teachers.

How can we use the tidal marshes, maritime forests, and estuarine beaches of the Eastern Shore as beneficial outdoor classrooms and create curricular inspiration that sparks wonder and curiosity in learning? Join CBF and fellow Worcester County teachers for three full days of field-based study in the heart of the Chesapeake at CBF’s Port Isobel East Island Environmental Education Center near Tangier Island, VA. On island, we will explore the unique and varied habitats and history of the Chesapeake Bay. Participants will experience the wonder of watershed ecology firsthand while studying the plants and animals of the Bay’s brackish water system. Be a part of expanding and refining the plan to integrate environmental literacy throughout a student’s education with Worcester County Public Schools.
