Save the American River Association

Our Story

Founded in 1961, Save the American River Association (SARA) emerged from a grassroots movement aimed at preserving the American River Parkway, a vital natural resource in Sacramento County. This organization was born out of concern for the river's future, following a controversial subdivision approval that threatened its natural beauty and ecological integrity. SARA's mission is to protect and enhance the wildlife habitat, fishery, and recreational resources of the Parkway, ensuring its survival for generations to come.

Impact

SARA has made significant strides in advocating for the American River Parkway, leading to improved water quality, enhanced wildlife habitats, and expanded recreational opportunities. Through legal protections and community initiatives, SARA has successfully established a master plan for the Parkway, now enshrined in state law, and has raised public awareness about critical environmental issues.
