- Hurricane Report—All of CBF's education programs are in good condition following Hurricane Irene's path up the East Coast. There are a few boards on the docks to fix, but we are grateful for our top-quality facilities and staff who did a fantastic job preparing for the storm. See CBF's Facebook page for photos of Irene making her way up the Bay.
- Fall Field Experience Dates Available—Get your students learning OUTSIDE with CBF throughout the fall 2011. There is still space available for groups who want to explore Clagett Farm or experience the Bay on one of our workboats in late November. Applications are available online. To apply or view FAQs about the application process, go to our website. You may also contact educationcoordinator@cbf.org with specific questions.
- Applications for Spring One-Day experiences will be available in October on our website.
