Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Bridging the Watershed
 
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park is an active supporter and participant in the Briding the Watershed program. Bridging the Watershed was developed by the Alice Ferguson Foundation in partnership with the national park service and area schools to promote education programs about the Potomac River and its tributaries. Parks are used as living classrooms and children are involved in interactive ranger led programs about the Potomac Watershed. Please contact the park visitor centers for more information.
