Conserving land with the River Parkway Trust
The San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust has worked with 18 conservation-minded landowners along the river corridor to protect 2,864 acres of wildlife habitat, river access, recreation lands, historic or education sites, scenic vistas, and working farms and ranches. Some land transactions can be complex and the River Parkway Trust has partnered with many public agencies as well as other non-profit organizations to collaboratively plan and fund large projects. Some of our partners have included the San Joaquin River Conservancy, California Wildlife Conservation Board, The Trust for Public Land, Sierra Foothill Conservancy, American Farmland Trust, Resources Legacy Fund, and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation.
Sumner Peck Ranch was aquired by the River Parkway Trust in December of 2020
An Accredited Land Trust

The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., awards the accreditation seal to community institutions that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever.
