About this organization
Mission
American Rivers protects wild rivers, restores damaged rivers, and conserves clean water for people and nature.
About
River restoration: The river restoration program brings rivers back to life by removing dams, replacing culverts, and restoring floodplains through practice, policy, and strategic capacity building. American Rivers acknowledges that we only need to give rivers a boost and their natural resiliency will allow them to recover and thrive. Our restoration work capitalizes on nature's strengths and those of our staff and partners to make a difference for rivers throughout the U.S. Our national and state policy efforts are increasingly improving the regulatory landscape to allow for more efficient, high quality river restoration work in the future. In addition, outreach to federal agencies has resulted in new partnerships that will lead to strategic high priority restoration initiatives on federal lands across the country.
