Pioneering Ecosystem Restoration

At the forefront of our mission is the rejuvenation of rivers, forests, and meadows, paving the way for a greener future. We believe in a comprehensive approach that revitalizes natural habitats and strengthens the bonds within our communities.

In an era of increasing ecological challenges, progressive restoration initiatives are more important than ever. Through numerous collaboratives, our mission is to restore habitats, improve forest health, and build new parks and trails, all while fostering a connection between communities and the natural world. With impactful projects and collaborations like the Tuolumne River Parkway, Clavey River Ecosystem Project, and Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions, we aim to mend the damage caused by past human activities and ensure ecosystems thrive

We focus on restoring floodplains, forests, meadows, and streams, and leveraging nature's resilience When necessary, we use human intervention to jump-start ecological processes Our goal is to nourish landscapes that also provide community benefits, such as parks and recreational facilities

Floodplain restoration projects along the lower Tuolumne River, including the Tuolumne River Parkway, Big Bend Project, and Dos Rios Ranch, not only create vital habitats for baby salmon but also establish river parks for local communities to enjoy. Our accomplishments in this area have been important and substantial, including the removal of the deadly Dennett Dam and the acquisition of over 2,000 acres of riverside property for conservation.
