River Partners
River Partners brings life back to rivers. Our 25+ years of on-the-ground success demonstrates that we can empower people to rebuild wild places, create homes for wildlife, and give new life to our river landscapes for future generations. SOLUTIONS We have reintroduced 18,000 acres of strategically-sited floodplain forests (an area nearly half the size of San Francisco) over the past 25 years. By expanding habitat for fragile species, we provide cost-effective, natural flood protection and water conservation. River Partners’ projects are at the forefront of California’s efforts to fight climate change. Our proven solutions protect our natural resources and build resilient communities. OPPORTUNITY In the next decade, River Partners is positioned to significantly expand critical habitat for native species, flood protection, water conservation, carbon storage and support for at- risk communities. Agricultural, political and natural resource leaders, and communities throughout California, embrace our approach. The accelerating impacts of climate change, and narrowing window to address these impacts, require us to move faster and think bigger. WHERE WE WORK Just 5% of California’s native riparian habitat remains. We are working to restore a meaningful foothold for wildlife and provide immediate solutions to water management challenges throughout the state. With the largest on-the-ground restoration footprint of any nonprofit organization or for-profit firm in the western US, River Partners restores river corridors from the northern Sacramento Valley to the US-Mexico border in some of the State’s most ecologically-imperiled farmland, native grass and scrublands.
