Native tree by native tree, acre by acre, River Partners is growing a resilient future for people, wildlife and our planet. Our partnerships and on-the-ground action bring new life to freshwater ecosystems at a pace and scale that matter. Read our 2021 Annual Impact Report.
Together with our partners, we are restoring rivers to rebuild critical habitat for imperiled species, strengthen local communities, conserve precious water resources, expand green jobs, flood safety and healthy open space, support productive farmland, and store carbon in fast-growing river forests.
