The mission of the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust (River Parkway Trust) is to preserve and restore San Joaquin River lands having ecological, scenic or historical significance, to educate the public on the need for stewardship, to research issues affecting the river, and to promote educational and recreational uses consistent with protection of the river’s resources. The River Parkway Trust), formed in 1988, is dedicated to the creation and protection of the 22-mile San Joaquin River Parkway between Fresno and Madera counties. The vision for the parkway began in 1985 when citizens expressed concern over rapid regional growth and plans for urban development in the river bottomlands. Today, 4,000 acres of the Parkway’s planned 6,000 acres are protected and hundreds of acres of habitat have been restored. Parkway amenities include: 7+ miles of multi-purpose trail, river access, fishing, canoeing, and River Center - a restored 1890s house with river exhibits, a ¾ mile trail, picnic areas, and a welcome pavilion with restrooms. Currently, a major extension of the Parkway's main trail system is in the planning stage. When complete, I will add 2+ miles of multi-purpose trail and many spur trails, river access, and open space for the community's enjoyment. The River Parkway Trust, which provides community programs in conservation, education and recreation, has brought millions of dollars into the region through land acquisition, habitat restoration and trail projects. Annually, the Trust serves approximately 40,000 people; over 7,500 children participate in education programs through school field trips to the river, summer day camps at the river, and classroom presentations. The children are from Fresno and Madera counties, the majority from Fresno Unified School District, the 6th most impoverished school district in the state.
