American River Conservancy

Primarily functioning as a land trust since 1989, American River Conservancy (ARC) is a non-profit advocate of conservation, stewardship, and education. We conserve biologically valuable areas in the upper American River and Cosumnes River watersheds by accepting land donations and purchasing properties from willing sellers at a price equal to or less than the fair-market appraised value. We select properties adjacent to already protected landscapes to maximize the conservation value of every dollar spent and promote the development of public trails across these protected landscapes. By preventing loss and fragmentation of habitats, and by protecting intact riparian corridors and working agricultural lands, we support a more climate-resilient landscape and preserve the capacity of land managers to address the consequences of climate change in the region through adaptive management. During our 30-year history, we have raised $110 million to complete 84 land acquisition projects protecting 28,000 acres of riverfront habitats for native fish, endangered plant and animal species, wildlife corridors, and public trail corridors. With over 26,000 acres protected, the success of ARC is als.
