The Trust is a non-profit [501[c][3], tax exempt educational organization whose purpose is to protect and preserve the natural values of the Sacramento River and to educate the public concerning ecologically viable farming methods and the need to preserve free-flowing rivers.



Over the years, the Sacramento River Preservation Trust has remained active in the area of environmental education and advocacy. It sponsors a regular State of the River conference, the next one scheduled for this fall in Red Bluff. It also organizes tours and float trips. The trust works with a number of other agencies, political entities and watershed conservancies.
