The Patuxent River Conference (PAXCON) is the premier forum uniting scientists, environmental educators, natural  resource managers, and anyone passionate about the health and future of the Patuxent River. To know and understand  the Patuxent River is to take one more step towards its protection. Many thanks to our donors and sponsors for making  this virtual event possible! We look forward to returning to an in-person PAXCON event when it’s safe to do so.
