San Diego River Park Foundation

River conservation and community engagement are the core offerings of this organization. Programs include habitat and land conservation, educational activities for students and families, and volunteer opportunities such as river habitat restoration, trail work, and gardening. The foundation also shares information about the river's geography, history, and wildlife, and advocates for a parkway along the river from the mountains to the ocean. Grant Park, a 17-acre nature learning facility in Mission Valley, hosts the Cool River Education Program and community events. Its work centers on the 52-mile San Diego River and its natural and cultural resources. The organization is based in San Diego.
