In 2015, a group of citizen volunteers formed the Back Creek Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that developed a Watershed Action Plan in 2016-17, financed by a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) and completed the Cedar Ridge Stormwater Restoration project in 2018, also funded by the CBT.

At the end of 2018, the Back Creek Conservancy consolidated with the Severn River Association, transforming itself into a Committee of the SRA, committed to implementing the Watershed Action Plan and to Speak for the Creek, to make it a healthier place to live, work and play in harmony with nature.

The Severn River Association is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Tax-deductible donations may be made to the Severn River Association by mail, to P.O. Box 146, Annapolis, MD 21404 or online through the DONATE button here. Please note if you wish to restrict your donation to Back Creek.
