About the Potomac Conservancy
The mission of the Potomac Conservancy is to protect the health, beauty, and enjoyment of the Potomac River and its tributaries. The Conservancy's primary focus is protection of water quality through land protection and sound land use practices. Because clean water alone is not enough, the Conservancy also works to preserve and restore the Potomac's scenic landscapes, and to enhance river-based recreational opportunities.
Potomac Conservancy was formed in the late summer of 1993 by individuals concerned about the state of the Potomac Gorge. Several interested individuals joined the Conservation Committee of the Canoe Cruisers Association (CCA) to devise a strategy for stabilizing these development trends before the essential character of the Gorge landscape was lost forever. This spurred the CCA to form an ad hoc Potomac Gorge Preservation Committee, but a qualified legal entity was still needed to hold easements and to monitor them over time. Soon after, the committee was transformed into the nonprofit land trust now known as Potomac Conservancy. The Conservancy was incorporated on August 24, 1993, in Maryland as a nonprofit corporation.
