Constellation recently sponsored a trash clean-up at Middle Branch Park, where employees gathered to learn about the pollution problems facing our watershed. We discussed the Maryland Bottle Bill and they cleaned up a lot of garbage, keeping plastic bottles and other waste from reaching the waterway! They were a fantastic and hard-working group, and we are so grateful for their dedication to Blue Water Baltimore’s mission. Interested in sponsoring an event? Please contact our Development Manager, Michelle, “MJ” Jenkins, at [email protected].

Clean water. Strong communities.. Let's restore and protect Baltimore’s waterways together!
关于我们
Blue Water Baltimore’s mission is to restore the quality of Baltimore’s rivers, streams and Harbor to foster a healthy environment, a strong economy and thriving communities. For too long, Baltimore’s waterways have been dumping grounds for contaminated stormwater runoff, trash, sewage, and toxic chemicals. This pollution not only harms our environment, it also threatens our citizens’ health and the vitality of our local economy. Blue Water Baltimore fills a unique role in the Baltimore area as an organization that uses a holistic set of programs to meet the great challenges of improving water quality. From arts and education, to stormwater management projects, to legal and legislative advocacy, we bring together citizens and our public and private partners to accomplish more than any of us could do alone.
