The Severn River Association's mission is to Connect the people who live, work, and play on the Severn River to restore and protect it for all of our communities. Vision: A healthy & thriving Severn River for present and future generations. Mission: We engage the local community with the Severn River and its tributaries through advocacy, education and restoration. Our programs focus areas: ADVOCATE – to build a broader and more diverse community of stewards to meet the growing needs of an expanding population, while conserving the Severn River’s health. EDUCATE - learners of all ages about one of the most biodiverse tracts of land, rivers, and trails, in the country, the Scenic Severn River and its watershed. RESTORE – Mother Nature’s water treatment plants – oysters and underwater grasses. With volunteers and partners we are re-establishing the processes necessary to support our River’s natural habitat.
