Reviving Rivers, Rebuilding Resilience
Healthy rivers power California’s environment, economy, and communities—and restoring them is one of the smartest investments we can make for a thriving state. River Partners works where water, climate, and biodiversity goals converge, transforming degraded floodplains into high-performing natural infrastructure that supports reliable water supplies, reduces flood risk, restores habitat, captures carbon, and strengthens local communities. We help public agencies move from plans to implementation that maximizes conservation impact, and we collaborate with private sector leaders to meet shared sustainability commitments—scaling practical, win-win solutions that deliver lasting impact across California.
Our initiatives tackle big challenges through science-driven restoration and innovative partnerships:
Biodiversity
Reviving critical habitats to support imperiled wildlife and pollinators.
Climate Resilience
Reforesting riverways to capture carbon and provide a buffer from extreme weather.
Flood Safety
Reconnecting rivers to floodplains to protect communities from flooding.
Vibrant Communities
Creating more green spaces and outdoor access for all.
Water Conservation
Restoring native vegetation conserves water, replenishes groundwater, and improves water security.
Native Seed Production
Breaking the bottleneck of native seeds for large-scale restoration success.
