Our Work
River Partners permanently protects habitat for federal and state listed species on thousands of acres of riverbanks – one tree, one shrub and one native grass seed at a time. River Partners is the only California nonprofit that acquires, restores and protects riparian ecosystems on a large scale. We invite you to explore some of the 120 projects in 14 watersheds that we have completed throughout California.
River Partners is one of the few organizations that has actually designed, permitted, and restored habitat in a regulatory floodway. This unique experience endows us with an unusually pragmatic perspective that is essential to the success of future restoration efforts.
Featured Projects
