We give rivers new life

There’s a remarkable movement underway in California

Californians are realizing it’s more important than ever to restore the state’s riverways as a natural solution to the growing impacts of climate change, including species loss, droughts, and floods.

River Partners has transformed hundreds of landscapes and communities across the state over 25 years. With your help, we can double our pace and scale of restoration in this critical decade to deliver a thriving future for California’s environment and people.

“Dos Rios” Virtual Film Premiere

Join River Partners President Julie Rentner and actor Ethan Peck on October 16, 2024 for a special virtual film premiere of our documentary about Dos Rios, California’s largest public-private floodplain restoration, with Q&A!

“Park of the Future”

River Partners’ historic Dos Rios Ranch Preserve will become California’s newest State Park, opening June 12, 2024. The restored riverway is part of bold vision to revitalize up to 30,000 acres in Central Valley by 2030.

“River Partners’ approach, that it so effectively demonstrates, is the future of conservation in California.”
