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.
