The Port Tobacco River Conservancy is a non-profit organization located in Charles County, Maryland, dedicated to protecting and restoring the Port Tobacco River and its surrounding streams. Working with various stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and government organizations, PTRC aims to achieve a nearly pristine condition for the river and its 30,000-acre watershed, ensuring clear and navigable waters, abundant fish and wildlife, and a safe environment for recreational activities.
Founded in 2001, PTRC initially focused on addressing sewage overflows from the La Plata Waste Water Treatment Plant. However, its mission expanded to encompass broader restoration efforts and the enhancement of the river's ecological health for future generations. By advocating for the citizens of the Port Tobacco River watershed, PTRC strives to create a cleaner and less polluted river, improving the quality of life, property rights, and recreational opportunities for all.
