About this organization
Mission
Guadalupe River Park Conservancy provides community leadership for the development and active use of the Guadalupe River Park & Gardens through education, advocacy and stewardship.
About
The education program staff provided science-based field trips for public and private schools students, adapted field trips for special needs students, programs for homeschooled students and scouting groups, a 200- student Water Wizard Festival, and summer day camp for members of the local Boys & Girls Club. Last year, over 5,450 children participated in GRPC's site-based programs, which use the park and gardens as a natural lab to teach hands-on lessons and instill a sense of environmental stewardship. GRPC also provided low-cost fitness, gardening, and other enrichment classes for over 200 adults. GRPC's advocacy efforts focused on promoting the park's use and further development. Family friendly festivals - Pumpkins in the Park & Super Guadalupe River Run - drew over 8,000 people and encouraged them to explore the park and its "something for everyone" amenities. During the year, GRPC staff and volunteer board members met with local business leaders and elected officials to promote park development, maintenance, and safety. Stewardship included recruiting volunteers - individuals and corporate groups - to care help care for a historic orchard, rose garden and other demonstration gardens through integrated pest management practices. These beautification efforts were critical given the City of San Jose's budget cuts and resulted in reduced chemical usage, which benefited, among others, the Chinook Salmon and Steelhead Trout in the river. Volunteers also helped with river clean ups, staffing for festivals, and office tasks. GRPC harnessed over 20,000 volunteer hours.
