The San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust is fundraising to establish a permanent endowment to support Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of Parkway Trails, Facilities, and Properties.

What is O&M?

When we talk about Parkway operations and maintenance, we are talking about everything involved in realizing the Parkway vision and protecting the future of Parkway properties and amenities. Operations and maintenance include daily activities that ensure clean and safe Parkway facilities, capital improvement repairs, and lifecycle replacements.

Long-Range Vision of Success

The San Joaquin River Parkway will someday include a continuous trail system connecting open space areas along the river from Friant Dam to Highway 99.  At full build-out, the Parkway will provide opportunities to explore and experience the river in vibrant natural areas with clean restrooms and trails.  Regular safety patrols by volunteers and rangers will provide education and assistance to visitors.   Land conservation will protect the unique plant and wildlife species found throughout the river corridor by preventing the conversion of open space to urban uses. Our vision for the Parkway includes timeless amenities to improve the quality of life in the San Joaquin Valley: a healthy river ecosystem filled with wildlife, walking trails throughout the 22-mile parkway, multiple pedestrian bridges, education programs, bicycle, and boat rentals, and thousands of people benefitting from the physical and mental health benefits accruing from time spent in nature. 

Your donation today will contribute to completing the long-range vision of success for the San Joaquin River Parkway.
