Your donation is used to support all of our programs and provides support to address emerging needs and opportunities. Our Annual Fund supports programs which conserve and care for wild places that wildlife such as cougar, bobcat, deer, badger, golden eagles and more depend on.
Your donation also provides meaningful opportunities to connect people with nature and advance a river-long park and trail system so more people can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

Trash-Free River Campaign
We believe all rivers should be trash free. Sadly, an estimated 1 million pounds of trash enters the San Diego Riverbed each year. Your gift will support efforts to change this. We organize 2-3 cleanups every week, work with landowners and public agencies, and advocate for policy changes to reduce the flow of trash into the river.
Wildlife Research
Did you know that the San Diego River may have the greatest bioiversity of any place in the country? We focus our research on identifying threats and opportunities to not only care for the San Diego River but also wildlife important to its ecoystem. One of our programs is Critter Cam - a network of remote wildlife cameras that document the presence and movement of large mammals.
