The Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center was initially opened to the public in 1985 as the Horsehead Wetlands Center. The view of the area from the air takes on the shape of a horse's head. The Wildfowl Trust of North America Inc. was founded in 1979 and purchased the 315 acre land in Grasonville, MD in 1981. In 1998 the trust purchased an additional 195 acres of adjacent land and placed the 510 acres into a conservation easement to protect the area. Horsehead Wetlands Center became the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center in 2003. The center promotes stewardship and sustainability through environmental education and habitat restoration.
