Herring Bay: Landscapes and Legacies

Herring Bay’s crescent shoreline draws us in from the larger Chesapeake; a protective arc of marsh and sand framed by hills and forests. Its landscapes have been shaped by human and natural forces over thousands of years. Forests and wetlands gave way to farms and resorts, which in turn evolved into new forests and coastal communities. Our stewardship of this heritage is our legacy to future generations.
