This is why we make time for the little finds, too. There’s a lot more to Back River than the trash we pull out of it.

One small correction to the video: moon snails feed through a proboscis, not their siphon.

Hard to walk past a tree like this without stopping to look. A little detour from the cleanup today.

A clarification on the research mentioned: laboratory findings do not show that catalpa pods or supplements prevent or treat cancer in people. Please don’t use wild plants as medicine.

The names surrounding the Chesapeake carry generations of history.

Long before these waterways appeared on colonial maps, Indigenous peoples named, traveled and cared for the lands throughout this region. Names such as Chesapeake and Potomac still preserve pieces of that history, even when their origins have been simplified or forgotten.

Learning where these words came from gives us a deeper understanding of the watershed and the people whose lives have been connected to it for thousands of years.

Save the date and lend a hand for Back River!

Join BRRC for our Neighborhood Cleanup Day on Saturday, November 7, from 9 a.m. to noon at 7512 E. Biddle Street in Rosedale.

Trash left in our neighborhoods can eventually reach local streams, Back River and the Chesapeake Bay. A few hours of community action can make a visible difference.

Bring your family, friends or neighbors. All ages are welcome!

There’s always something new to discover along Back River. 🌳

This time, we’re taking a closer look at the trees and nuts growing by the water. Getting to know our river means noticing what’s growing along its banks, too!

What have you spotted on your walks along the river? 👇

Before it flies, it hunts underwater. 🐉💧

Meet a dragonfly nymph! These tiny predators spend their early lives beneath the surface before emerging as winged adults.

A closer look at the wildlife around Back River—and another reason to care for the waters they call home. 💚
