Severn Restoration Plan – Our plan to stop the flow of sediment and nitrogen into the Severn is gaining traction. Septic systems are being up-graded, and we have been granted $450,000 to restore Clements Creek with an additional $925,000 being considered. Saltworks Creek is next, then up to the headwaters. Your donations are improving water quality.

The Severn Riverkeeper Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Maryland's Capital River, the Severn River, for our families and future generations. Our goal is to stop pollution and have a healthy, swimmable river for everyone to enjoy through water quality monitoring, restoration, education, and advocacy.

Our success depends on your participation!  We have many active members and partnerships, but need everyone on the river to join in this effort. Together we can save the Severn. To make a donation or become a member please visit our Participate page.

Founded in 2002, our full-time staff includes Fred Kelly - Severn Riverkeeper & Staff Attorney; Allison Albert, Program Director; and Sara Caldes, Program Coordinator. The Severn Riverkeeper Program is a proud member of Waterkeeper Alliance.

Please contact us to report pollution and to inquire about volunteer projects, donations or events.

We're in the midst of a matching grant fundraising campaign. Thanks to the Campbell Foundation for the Environment, if we meet our $30,000 goal, we'll have $60,000 to use in restoration of the Severn River! Help us and see your money double! Please donate now.
