California's only statewide river preservation organization is in need of help.
Please join us in helping save Friends of the River (FOR) so they can continue to save California's rivers. Due to the economic downturn, fundraising for all non-profits, including Friends of the River, has severely declined. FOR is the leading river preservation group in California and has been solely focused on protecting our rivers since 1973.
They are responsible for securing National Wild and Scenic status for the Tuolumne River (1984), the Merced River (1987), and the North and Middle Forks of the American River (1981). But this is just a small sample of their accomplishments, and they are determined to keep fighting for the preservation of our rivers.
"Without FOR, we wouldn't be able to offer rafting trips on many California rivers"
-George, Gregg, and Scott Armstrong, Owners of All-Outdoors
However, to continue preserving California's rivers they need our help. We are committed to saving FOR and hope you will join us in this severe time of need.
