Potomac Conservancy is the region’s leading clean water advocate, dedicated to ensuring that the Potomac River remains a source of clean drinking water, healthy lands, and connected communities. Founded in 1993, our organization drives the clean water movement in the region by empowering local landowners, activists, volunteers, partners, donors, and all river champions. We provide them with the necessary tools to lead the charge for clean drinking water, healthy lands, and safe access to the river.

Our initiatives focus on saving streamside forests, strengthening clean water laws, and empowering community conservation. We believe that our rivers are only as healthy as the lands that surround them, so we work to conserve riverside lands and keep the Potomac's upstream forests vibrant and verdant. We also advocate for stronger clean water laws to ensure that our rivers, forests, and public lands are protected.

Through our community conservation efforts, we engage with local communities and encourage their active participation in the fight for clean water. Join us and be part of the movement to make the Potomac River safe for swimming and fishing. Donate today to help us protect local streams and vulnerable habitats from pollution and the effects of the climate crisis.

Together, we can make a difference in ensuring a healthy Potomac River for future generations
