When something important is happening that will affect our rivers - and we need your help - we will let you know here. We are a growing organization and we can work with our members to let elected officials and other decision-makers know that we care about the West and Rhode Rivers.
Federal
We need our Senators to stop this from happening. Ask your Senator to OPPOSE including the Goodlatte Amendment in HR 1, the Continuing Resolution for Fiscal Year 2011. We cannot let this amendment do away with environmental protections for the rivers and streams of the Chesapeake Bay.

Is your river, stream and swimming hole a mess? Are there beach closures near you. Do you stay out of the water after it rains? Summer = Water and if you are fed up with the condition of your local waters, join us for an enlightening training session on how you can get involved in cleaning up your local waterways. Please see this flyer about our Clean Water, Healthy Families campaign and how you can help this summer bring this issue to the attention of our elected leaders.

Comprehensive Rezoning
The Anne Arundel County Council will be considering Comprehensive Rezoning in 2011. This process involves reviewing rezoning applications submitted throughout the entire county. The Rezoning will be broken up into three bills, which will each be introduced separately over the course of the year. To see which properties are being considered for Rezoning, please visit the county's website here: http://www.aacounty.org/PlanZone/LongRange/CompZone.cfm
