We use science, restoration and community action to make the South, West, and Rhode Rivers cleaner and healthier. Our Riverkeeper advocates for new policies and ensures enforcement of existing laws to protect the waterways of Southern Anne Arundel County. We use a science-driven, community-based approach to improve the water quality of our rivers – and we’re not afraid to get our boots muddy. We pursue thoughtful restoration strategies to make our rivers and creeks safe for swimming and boating and to protect natural resources like fish, oysters and crabs. Our stream, wetland and shoreline projects create wildlife habitat, reduce flooding and help stop stormwater pollution. Edgewater, Maryland

Winter coats the landscape with a brilliant white blanket, providing amazing skiing conditions for Wisp Resort.
