ARNHA,
a nonprofit organization since 1981, supports educational and
interpretive activities in the American River Parkway in
cooperation with the county's Effie Yeaw Nature Center. It provides
critical fundraising, volunteer and advisory support for the Nature
Center's mission to introduce thousands of school children each year to
the beauty and diversity of the Parkway. Here visitors of all ages learn the importance of conserving and protecting our most precious natural resource.
We partnered with the American River Parkway Foundation and Save the American River Association to create the American River Parkway Coalition. The coalition reacts to projected budget shortfalls threatening Parkway closure, and looks for ways to educate and involve Parkway users in the quest for short and long-term funding.
