Key Accomplishments

As a member of the Tuolumne River Coalition, TRT led the group’s efforts to create a vision for the lower Tuolumne River, which envisioned a mosaic of 20 habitat restoration and park projects along the 52mile stretch of river from La Grange to the San Joaquin River. This document has been a blueprint for our and others’ efforts for the past 16 years and has led to new parks in Waterford, Ceres, and Modesto. To date, 14 projects have been completed, 3 are inprogress, and 3 remain to be completed.
