The Friends of Patapsco Valley and Heritage Greenway Inc. (FPVHG)
is dedicated to preserving, protecting, interpreting and restoring
the environment, history and culture of the Valley. We translate this
mission into two primary goals:

Presently, while we are neither a property-owning or governmental
organization, we try to encourage the positive management of the Patapsco
Valley and its visitors. We participate in a wide variety of state and
county planning activities. We also are actively involved in developing
educational materials about the environment and the history of the Valley.
Our motivation is to ensure that the Patapsco Valley remains pleasant
for our generation and for future generations. One of the key elements
of our mission is to complete and expand a professionally developed
Management Plan. This study is a beginning
vision of possible ways to protect and preserve the valley. This will
create an official focus and provide a vehicle to help us protect and
enhance the Valley.

Did you know that rain barrels not only conserve water but also divert
storm water run off? Up to 25% of the nitrogen entering the Chesapeake
Bay comes from rainfall. We can divert that nitrogen by having it filter
through our gardens, reducing our need to fertilize! Build
a rain barrel today!
