Mission Statement

Russian Riverkeeper serves all communities by restoring and sustaining the health of the Russian River, its tributaries, riparian corridors and uplands through citizen action, public education, scientific research and expert advocacy.

Description

Russian Riverkeeper has been fighting since 1993 to ensure a thriving river system and your rights to fishable, swimmable and drinkable waters.

With your help, Russian Riverkeeper will:

  • Adapt to climate change. As we face another year of unprecedented drought, we must go beyond emergency water conservation and permanently use less water in our homes, our businesses, and our agriculture.
  • Defend our rivers, streams, wetlands, and ocean by providing science-based advocacy and by influencing policy to better protect our watershed.
  • Tackle trash. Our Clean Team removes trash from the river 5 days a week and mobilizes hundreds of volunteers to help at special cleanup events throughout the year. Trash strangles our river ecosystem, our ocean, and the local economy that depends on clean water.
  • Restore healthy habitat to reduce flooding, keep our water clean and abundant, increase public recreation, and improve our climate resilience.
  • Educate & empower youth to become our next generation of environmental stewards.
