Baltimore County aggressively works to reduce the load of nutrients, toxics, and sediments in local waterways, drinking water reservoirs, and the Chesapeake Bay. DEPRM implements initiatives in storm water runoff control, watershed management, stream restoration, forest resource management, stream buffer protection and environmental education. But, the job of reducing and preventing water pollution is a big one and government cannot do it alone.
Baltimore County is a leader in Maryland's Green School award program. The Maryland Green School Awards Program is a holistic, integrated approach that incorporates local environmental issue investigation with environmental best management practices and community stewardship. Make your school a Green School this year!
Citizens are eager to become part of the Bay restoration effort. We endeavor to reduce pollution and enhance our properties in ways that benefit the Chesapeake Bay. We make choices everyday that can effect our environment and local waterways. Join with Baltimore County to learn more about becoming stewards of our watersheds and the Chesapeake Bay.
