Description
Join us as we celebrate 10 years of Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional (CBLP) training — and, most importantly, the people and community that have made it possible.
Since the first CBLP training in 2016, more than 1,900 professionals have joined the CBLP network. Over the past decade, CBLP has grown into more than a training and certification program; it has become a community of professionals, instructors, partners, and friends who share a commitment to healthier landscapes and a healthier Chesapeake Bay watershed.
This anniversary is a chance to celebrate that community — the connections made in classrooms and field days, the instructors and partners who have helped shape the program, and the CBLP professionals who take what they’ve learned into their work and communities every day. We’ll also look ahead to the next 10 years and imagine what we can accomplish together.
Join us for a special afternoon of connection and celebration at Black Ankle Vineyards in Mt. Airy, Maryland. Enjoy appetizers and a wine tasting, hear from a special guest speaker, and spend time reconnecting with old friends and meeting others who are part of the CBLP community.
Date: December 5, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM
Location: Black Ankle Vineyards, Mt. Airy, MD
Registration for this event is free of charge. During registration, you’ll have the option to make a voluntary donation to support the continued growth and sustainability of CBLP. Suggested donation levels of $25, $100, and $250 will be available, but there is absolutely no obligation to contribute. If you’d prefer, you’ll also have an opportunity to make a donation at the event.
Whether you’ve been part of CBLP since the beginning or joined the network more recently, come celebrate the people, partnerships, and shared commitment that have brought us to this milestone — and help us look forward to the next decade together.
