Wye Research and Education Center
Located on nearly 1,000 acres on Maryland's Eastern Shore, the Wye Research and
Education

research and outreach faculty. It is an important center for environmental field
research, including
a variety of efforts
protecting the quality of our ground water and the Chesapeake Bay. Home to the
Wye Angus

and Education Center also hosts research examining the effects of pollutants on
striped bass and
other Bay inhabitants;
breeding and genetic studies for traditional and alternative crops; and a variety
of IPM projects
that provide effective,
environmentally safe pest control solutions. For more information, on research at
