Overview

Mission

The back creek conservancy improves, conserves, and speaks for annapolis md's back creek, an estuary of the chesapeake bay, and its watershed, to make it a healthier place to live, work, and play in harmony with nature. By 2025, the back creek conservancy envisions a creek we can swim in without fear of illness; a thriviing creek with fish, crabs, aquatic vegetation, and other wildlife; a creek where neighbors, marine professionals, and recreational boaters work together for improved water quality; a creek that is resilient to the impacts of climate change; and a creek that makes us proud to be a part of america's sailing capital. During 2019, the back creek conservancy merged with another organization with similar missions to join forces in making the watersheds of the chesapeake bay a healthier place to live, work and play in harmony with nature.
