The Patapsco Heritage Greenway Inc. (PHG) 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 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.
