State environmental funding assists the Eastern Shore in visible and tangible ways. It supports farmers who are investing in healthier soils and more resilient fields. It enables water quality improvements that sustain fisheries, protect drinking water, and keep waterways safe for recreation. It provides small towns with resources to modernize stormwater and wastewater systems that would otherwise be financially out of reach. It supports local businesses — nurseries, engineering firms, construction companies, conservation service providers — that together form a growing rural restoration economy. These dollars stay in our communities and circulate locally, strengthening the very economies that sustain the Eastern Shore’s identity and future.
