Beaver Creek Watershed Plan

Beaver Creek Appendix A

Beaver Creek Appendix B - G

BCWA received a commendation from the Maryland Dept. of the Environment Forestry Service for the work that has been done on restoring riparian buffers and collecting tree seeds to be used to grow seedlings to be used in further re-forestation efforts.

BCWA has received generous grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Chesapeake Bay Trust, and Maryland Department of the Environment to fund a large stream bank stabilization and habitat improvement project on the Anne Baker property on Beaver Creek. This project will begin in early October. Volunteers will re-plant the buffer once the stream work is completed.

The Center for Watershed Protection has begun a watershed assessment on the Beaver Creek Watershed. Scientists from CWP and volunteers recently surveyed every stream (including small tributaries) in the watershed. A report on the health of the watershed will be compiled over the next few months and results reported out at a public forum this winter. The results of this study will enable us to prioritize our restoration efforts in the future. This study was funded by a generous grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
