Background & Introduction

Beginning in 2002, a group of people gathered together in order to advocate for the St. Mary’s River. They studied a subwatershed— the Hilton Run. In 2004 with funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, they published a Management Plan for the Hilton Run Subwatershed.

The St. Mary’s River Watershed Association was incorporated in March of 2005 and elected its first Board of Directors in April that year. Nancy McAllister became the organization’s first president. In March of 2006, the Association was granted non-profit status under section 501 (C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Association protects, improves and promotes the wellbeing of the St. Mary’s River watershed in ways that also revitalize the economic, social, and cultural health of the community.

The Association strives to establish a sustainable and beneficial relationship between the ecology of the St. Mary's River and the communities in the watershed.
