Make a difference for future generations by adopting a stream and restoring the health of our waterways!

Stream clean up in Baltimore County

Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC) is looking for volunteers, age 18+, to join their Adopt-a-Stream Program. It’s easy to adopt a stream! Stream Adoption simply requires you to:

  • Attend GVC's training
  • Agree to clean your adopted stream segment
  • Send GVC your trash collection data
  • Watch for and report stream hazards

Adopt-a-Stream is great for individuals, families, neighborhoods, scout groups, congregations, or school groups. GVC can help you find an adoptable stream segment in the Gunpowder Watershed, or you may have one in mind.
