Mission and programs

AMERICAN RIVERS IS CHAMPIONING A NATIONAL EFFORT TO PROTECT AND RESTORE ALL RIVERS, FROM REMOTE MOUNTAIN STREAMS TO URBAN WATERWAYS. HEALTHY RIVERS PROVIDE PEOPLE AND NATURE WITH CLEAN, ABUNDANT WATER AND NATURAL HABITAT. FOR 50 YEARS, AMERICAN RIVERS STAFF, SUPPORTERS, AND PARTNERS HAVE SHARED A COMMON BELIEF: LIFE DEPENDS ON RIVERS. AMERICAN RIVERS IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO PROTECTING AND RESTORING THE RIVERS ALL LIFE DEPENDS ON. WITH A HALF-CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE ADDRESSING RIVER THREATS FROM COAST-TO-COAST, WE'VE PROTECTED MORE RIVERS AND REMOVED MORE DAMS THAN ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION. IN 2025, WE WORKED IN 50 STATES TO PROTECT HEALTHY RIVERS, RESTORE DAMAGED ONES, AND CHAMPION A POWERFUL RIVER MOVEMENT. WE REMOVED 108 DAMS, RECONNECTED OVER 2,500 RIVER MILES, PROTECTED 1,165 MILES FROM POLLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT, SAFEGUARDED 212,000 ACRES OF RIVERSIDE LAND, AND SUPPORTED 148 COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE CLEAN WATER AND SAFETY.
