American River Parkway Foundation

Clean-ups - the removal of trash and debris prevents pollutants from entering the watershed, harming the wildlife, or creating hazards for recreational users. Additionally, keeping the Parkway clean protects ocean life by preventing trash from being washed downstream during the winter rains. Each year the Foundation facilitates two large-scale, parkway-wide clean-ups and monthly, site-specific clean-ups.

Trail maintenance program - maintenace of the multi-use dirt trail that runs the length of the 23-mile American River Parkway and is used by equestrians, hikers, and runners. Annuall maintenance involves mowing grass and noxious weeds, clearing back encroaching brush, replacing vandalized signage, and removing downed trees.

Fire safe council - a coalition of public and private sector organizations with the mission of wildfire prevention and conservation of the Parkway, its infrastructure, and the surrounding homes and businesses. The council updates and implements the fire management plan, including the development of an effective plan for each of the Parkway's regional parks.
