This month the Friends' annual fundraising letter goes out. In these pandemic times, it seems more important than ever to continue our work. For the past 25 years the Friends of the Napa River have advocated for a Living River and the restoration of historic marsh, riparian, and wetland habitat on your behalf.
With your support, the Napa River escaped becoming a channel lined with endless concrete walls through the City of Napa and instead has wetlands, a new Oxbow Commons Park in the heart of downtown, and other features to handle floodwaters. Your support helped facilitate Napa Creek flood control; Rutherford-to-Oak Knoll river restoration; flood control and water projects in Yountville, St. Helena, Calistoga, and American Canyon; and on and on.
As the needs of our watershed and the Living River projects evolve, Friends of the Napa River remain focused on two key activities: advocacy and connecting youth and the community with our watersheds.
