Dear Stakeholders:
The St. Mary’s River needs your help. The St. Mary’s River drainage area, which includes most of the Lexington Park Development District, is under significant development pressure which appears to be causing pollution of watershed streams and the main river, fragmenting natural habitats, and overwhelming the ability of the river, stream networks, and surrounding lands to provide important ecological and economic benefits.
Tuesdays at 10:00am

Meeting location to be determined based on weather and water levels
The goal of the Roughnecks is to maintain fish passage and a free flowing river for humans. The Crew works in fringe areas to remove blockages that harm the ecology of the river. During this work trip, the Roughnecks will hike or paddle (dependant on the weather) within the Patuxent River watershed and remove blockages impeding the channel. Patuxent Riverkeeper will provide maps, GPS, tools, and drinking water as well as paddling gear and boats if needed. Please be prepared to hike or paddle and bring any additional gear as you see fit...
