Potomac Conservancy is an environmental services organization focused on protecting and improving water quality in the Potomac River and surrounding lands in the greater Washington, D.C. region. It leverages a broad grassroots network, combining more than 23,000 members and online activists with land conservation and policy work to advance local change aimed at clean drinking water, healthy lands, and safe river access. The organization supports local landowners, volunteers, partners, donors, and river advocates, enabling them to drive initiatives that restore the Potomac River to full health. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, the group operates in the environmental sector and was founded in 1993. A recent development noted in 2023 involves Aidanschool partnering with Potomac Conservancy to serve as a seed collection and drop-off site for September and October, reflecting collaboration with community organizations to advance conservation goals.
