Want to get a chunk of some $308,000 the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Advisory Committee is offering to Bay-related education and restoration projects? Your private, not-for-profit conservation group, school, university or governmental agency can apply to get its piece of the pie, thanks to people paying extra for those Chesapeake Bay license plates. Visit http://dls.virginia.gov/cbrfac.htm to find out how. Since 1996, the “Friend of the Chesapeake” license plate has awarded nearly $6 million. ?– Natalie Plumb
