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.

Common Ground, Common Water

The time is now and the need is clear: We need to take big action to restore our rivers and communities, together.

Our work in action

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

—Wade Crowfoot, California Natural Resources Secretary

California can safeguard its communities and environment against climate-driven floods and drought by reviving rivers and their floodplains.
