California's rivers cannot protect themselves. It faces increasing pressure from higher populations and incessant lobbying by special interests. Friends of the River, California's state wide river conservation organization, advocates a common sense approach to preserve wild rivers, restoring rivers that have been damaged and promoting sustainable water management to ease pressure on all rivers. The volunteers of this organization educate thousands of people each year. Most important, the members take action by writing letters, attending meetings, caring the California's rivers.
