SAVE-THE-DATE: Rendezvous by the River

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 4th, 2025, for the 4th Annual Rendezvous by the River at Camp Lotus. In a year of major environmental challenges, this evening is our chance to reconnect with community, recharge by the river, and recommit to the work ahead. 

Join us for a night of food, live music, and shared purpose—all in support of protecting California’s rivers.

Saving California rivers is up to us

With your support, we can work together to restore flows where excessive diversions reduce flows, to improve hydropower operations to benefit people and fish, to fight destructive reservoirs, and to strengthen river protections.
