The Chesapeake Ecology Center (CEC) promotes community greening/sustainable living practices through a variety of

educational initiatives and through various media. We take action via habitat restoration projects. Our initial focus on installing restoration projects has expanded to include a range of green living topics.

The CEC has installed a variety of habitat restoration projects at many locations in the region and at the CEC. Examples of some of our conservation landscaping initiatives—including 24 Native Plant Demonstration Gardens and Groves—can be seen on the grounds of Mary Moss @ Adams Academy, 245 Clay Street, Annapolis, Maryland, where we are based. Because we are located at a middle school, visiting hours during the school year are after 5 p.m. and anytime on the weekends and during the summer. Please note that dog walking is prohibited on the school grounds.

DIRECTIONS FROM ROUTE 50: Take Exit 24 Rowe Blvd. toward Annapolis; turn right on Taylor Ave. (just past the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium); turn left onto Glenwood St. (0.42 miles); Glenwood St. becomes Clay St.; turn left into the parking lot.

It is possible to “Live Well and Green,” that is, to live a materially comfortable, non-exploitative and sustainable lifestyle, while protecting and restoring the environment. Living a “green” lifestyle doesn’t mean living without the material comforts of life. It does, however, require environmental awareness and conscientious decision-making, limiting excessive consumption, and taking action to protect and restore our environment.

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

— John Muir
