[web site] (http://www.chesapeakearboretum.com/) The Chesapeake Arboretum is a 47-acre garden dedicated to promoting horticultural and environmental awareness through displays, education and research.

The Arboretum was dedicated in November, 1996, and boasts one of Virginia’s finest trail systems that wanders through a 43-acre mature hardwood forest with many varieties of trees and plants.

On the grounds of the farmhouse that serves as the Arboretum Headquarters building are a number of theme gardens, including fragrance and antique rose gardens, as well as several demonstration gardens. Periodic events are held on our grounds, including Arbor Day, Our annual Garden Party, a “Junior Gardeners” class for children, Walk-a-thons, etc. The Arboretum won two 1999 Chesapeake environmental awards: The Adult Community Organization Award, and the Mayor’s Outstanding Service Award.

The Chesapeake Arboretum is non-profit and depends on donations, contributions, volunteers and membership dues. Call us at (757) 382-7060 to see how you might volunteer your services. Support your Arboretum by becoming a member, and receive our newsletter to keep informed about our activities.

The Great Bridge Battlefield and Waterways History Foundation [Web site] (http://www.gbbattlefield-waterways.com)is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the historical significance of the Battle of Great Bridge, the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal and the Dismal Swamp Canal.

The primary objective of the Foundation is to establish an information center in which educational displays and artifacts, electronic media and trained staff will tell the story of the battle and the canals. The Foundation will also foster and promote the information center as a basis to form a regional history trail that will develop into a valuable educational and economic asset for the communities involved.
