At Nature Connect Initiative, we understand that protecting the Upper Sacramento River benefits not only the immediate region but also communities far beyond, including the Bay Area. The river is a vital resource for California’s broader ecosystem and contributes to the overall health of the state’s water system, which directly impacts millions of people, including those in urban areas like the Bay Area.

By restoring the Upper Sacramento River, we are safeguarding a key part of the state’s natural water filtration system, ensuring cleaner, healthier water downstream. This work directly contributes to the ecological balance that supports agriculture, wildlife, and communities throughout Northern California, including the Bay Area.

While we are still in the early stages of our restoration efforts, the long-term benefits of this project will ripple through the entire region. By preserving this critical environment, we’re helping to create a healthier future for families, wildlife, and the natural landscape across California.
