Potomac Conservancy is a leading clean water advocate in the greater Washington, DC region. We fight to ensure the Potomac River boasts clean drinking water, healthy lands, and vibrant communities. We combine the grassroots power of over 23,000 members and online activists with land conservation and policy initiatives to restore the Potomac River to full health. We seek to improve the Potomac River’s water quality by building an impassioned base of river advocates to impart change at the local level. Founded in 1993, we drive the region’s clean water movement by providing the tools that empower local landowners, activists, volunteers, partners, donors, and all river champions to lead the charge for clean drinking water, healthy lands, and safe access to the river.
