Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage We build habitat for wildlife CHESAPEAKE WILDLIFE HERITAGE We Build Habitat for Wildlife Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage is dedicated to designing building and maintaining wildlife habitat and establishing a more sustainable agriculture through direct action education and research in partnership with public and private landowners. By increasing the amount and diversity of wildlife habitat and educating the public about the need for wildlife habitat CWH is improving the health of the Bay. Given its expansive watershed of 64000 square miles with 11600 miles of tidal shoreline and a human population of more than 18. 3 million in 2019 the health of the Chesapeake Bay is inextricably linked to how landowners in the watershed manage their land.
