Rain Gardens

The rain garden program continues to be a key component of our efforts. To date CRC has sponsored the installation of over 250 residential rain gardens. Every homeowner in the Watershed is eligible to apply for a free rain garden valued at up to $2000. More

Water Quality Monitoring

A team of volunteers trained by the Maryland Department of the Environment conducts weekly water quality testing all along the Corsica River from May to October each year. More

Awareness Day

Corsica Watershed Awareness Day is held annually on the 3^rd Saturday in September from noon to 4 p.m. at Bloomfield Farm on Route 213, just north of Centreville. This free event, which combines family fun with engaging environmental education, is designed to remind residents of their responsibility to help restore and maintain a clean and healthy river and watershed. During the past 6 years it has become a local tradition attracting over 1000 visitors each year.

Education & Outreach

Voluntary cooperation and active participation of watershed residents is critical to the continued success of our efforts to restore the Corsica River and its watershed. Therefore, CRC continues to reach out to the community and solicit citizen involvement.

The Corsica Restoration Project is carried out by a consortium of government and non-profit entities including CRC. The work of the consortium is coordinated by an Implementers Group headed by Kevin Smith of the MD Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Eva Kerchner, Zoning Administrator/Watershed Manager for the town of Centreville. The Implementers Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 9:00 am at the Queen Anne’s County Department of Planning and Zoning 160 Coursevall Drive, Centreville, MD.
