The greenway was proposed as part of a 1998 Countywide Park Trails Plan.[1] A plan for the greenway was approved by the Montgomery County Planning Board on June 15, 2005.[2]

The Rachel Carson Greenway would include a set of three existing trails, including the Northwest Branch trail in Silver Spring, Woodlawn Manor trails in Sandy Spring and Rachel Carson Conservation Park trails near Laytonsville.[3] The Northwest Branch Trail Corridor was officially renamed as the Rachel Carson Greenway on March 20, 2004.[4] The largest section of the greenway consists of a network of unimproved hiking trails through the Northwest Branch stream valley gorge in Burnt Mills, Maryland. A Sandy Spring Heritage Trail is being considered as part of the greenway trail system.[5] In 2008, Montgomery County approved plans to extend the Rock Creek Park trail system north to Rachel Carson Conservation Park and connect with the Rachel Carson Greenway.[6]
