2026 Virginia Legislative Session • Chesapeake Bay Foundation

CBF works tirelessly with the Virginia General Assembly each year given the important impacts it can have on the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The 2026 Virginia General Assembly session was no different. Throughout session, we urged legislators to accelerate efforts to reduce pollution and prioritize the restoration of Virginia’s rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay so that future generations can enjoy their beauty and bounty.

5. Greater tree canopy zoning powers, awaiting Governor's action. This was a major ask from the public in the local zoning rewrite but we were limited by state regs. Should this become law, we can increase protections in sensitive areas like flood plains and along rivers and streams. #VALeg #TreeCanopy #zoning #FloodSafety #CleanWater #SaveTheBay https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB549

Immerse yourself in the quiet mystery of a heavy morning fog. This black and white photograph captures a wet street vanishing into the mist, creating a striking natural gradient from the dark, textured pavement to the endless white void ahead.

I took this photo looking straight up into the dense, wild canopy of an old oak woodland. What grabbed me was how the sheer chaos of the branches and leaves turned into this beautiful, almost abstract pattern in black and white.
