About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect, preserve, and restore the South, West, and Rhode Rivers by working with local communities to achieve clean, fishable, and swimmable waterways for present and future generations.
A very special place...
Arundel Rivers Federation is devoted to protecting and restoring a very special place – the South, West, and Rhode Rivers of Anne Arundel County.
We use a science-driven, community-based approach to improve the water quality of our rivers – and we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty and our feet wet.
We pursue thoughtful restoration strategies to make our rivers and creeks safe for swimming and boating and to protect natural resources like fish, oysters and crabs. Our stream, wetland and shoreline projects create wildlife habitat, reduce flooding and help to slow stormwater pollution.
The South, West, and Rhode Riverkeeper acts as the eyes, ears and voices for our local Rivers. Our organization is wholly focused on achieving our vision of clean, healthy, sustaining waterways for our local communities.
Arundel Rivers Federation was created in January 2019 and is the result of the consolidation of South River Federation and West Rhode Riverkeeper, Inc.
