California Rivers Festival is put together by Friends of the River,
California’s statewide river conservation group that advocates a common
sense approach to preserving our wild rivers, restoring rivers that
have been damaged, and promoting sustainable water management to ease
pressure on all our rivers. The theme for this year’s event is
“Preserve, Restore, and Sustain”. Our goals for this year’s event is to
build awareness about the importance of rivers in our everyday lives
and for the future of California; Provide fun, educational and
recreational opportunities; Increase partnerships of agencies,
community organizations, schools and businesses in River conservation
efforts; Raise the profile of the purpose and role of participating
agencies and organizations, and raise money to support the river
conservation and water policy reform efforts of Friends of the River.
