Friends of the Napa River
The community’s voice for the protection, restoration, responsible development, and celebration of the Napa River and its watershed through education and advocacy.
Friends of the Napa River (FONR) was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in early 1994. We have worked together with our members and partners through the years on many different Napa River related issues such as flood protection, boating, fishing, watershed restoration, river access and trails, river research, festivals, watershed education, and riverfront development. To learn more about our Napa River, watch the video below.
