What Is The Connection Between Your Health, The Environment And Our Economy?
Weems Creek Conservancy is partnering with Friends of the Chesapeake!
Weems Creek residents are increasingly concerned about rising health risks associated
with unsafe drinking water, polluted rivers and streams and contaminated fish, crabs
and oysters. According to recent DNR and EPA studies, the Weems Creek Watershed is
severely impacted by storm water runoff which is causing sediment to fill in the tidal
creek thus affecting the recreational uses, aesthetics and property values.
It's time to take action!
The problems have been studied and identified - solutions are available. Collaboration among
businesses, citizens, government and community organizations is crucial to the recovery of the
Watershed.
We Need Your Help - We Give Back to You!
Together, we can work to make our community cleaner and healthier. Our projects continue to grow
rapidly, thanks to all the contributors who believe that good health, a clean environment and a
robust economy is important.
To achieve our goal, we need your help. It is your support through donations that allow us to continue
to grow and to improve our neighborhood. To meet these needs, we are asking you to join our partner,
