Blue Water Baltimore advocates for important policies and initiatives at the local, state, and federal levels.  These policies that are critical to protecting our streams and rivers, ensuring public health and safety, and improving the quality of life for all Maryland residents. 

Trees make a big impact for clean water and healthier, happier communities. Blue Water Baltimore's Community Forestry team has planted thousands of trees across the Baltimore region. Thanks to the helping hands of volunteers, they can plant, water, mulch, and maintain hundreds of new trees annually.

A garden full of plants native to Maryland is a great way to reduce stormwater pollution while providing habitat and food for butterflies, birds, and pollinators. Trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses that are native to the region and well-adapted to the planting site are attractive and use fewer inputs – like irrigation, fertilizers, and maintenance – than turf grass or fussy non-native ornamental plants.

Rainwater Harvesting: Every Drop Counts! Rain barrels are a great way to conserve water, reduce stormwater pollution, combat flooding and erosion, and so much more.
