Community Impact

The Crab Basket Tree is a unique Chesapeake tradition. In Queen Anne’s County, it’s a whole community effort involving schools, community organizations, and family members painting basket designs to honor the lives of past, active, and deceased watermen. The Crab Basket Tree is erected next to the Maryland Watermen’s Monument in Grasonville, MD.  All proceeds from the project go to help local watermen and families in need. Sauer Compressor USA is part of the display, thanks to employee Amanda Riordan for designing the basket.
