Land Conservation
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.

Restoration Projects
The word "restoration" means different things to different people. For some, it implies replanting a streamside forest, removing invasive weeds, or cleaning up the bed and banks of the river. For others, restoration means additional water in the river for fish like salmon and steelhead trout. Whatever your definition of restoration, the River Parkway Trust has an opportunity for you to get involved and contribute to the health of the San Joaquin River.
