The river is calling


For nearly four decades, we’ve worked to protect, restore, and open 
access to one of the most important natural resources in our region: 
the San Joaquin River and its trails, open spaces and wildlife habitats.


Now, we’re taking an important step forward. We are proud to introduce 
our new name:
Parkway.


It’s an important step forward to end the confusion between our 
organization and the state agency called the
San Joaquin River 
Conservancy.


This change reflects the fact that our river isn’t just a place. It’s a living 
force that shapes our community, strengthens families, and brings people together in ways few things can. 


Along with our new name, we’re launching a new campaign - The river is calling. - to spread the word that the river is something we all belong to. 


To further our goal of consistency in naming conventions and clearer 
communication, we will also be renaming Sumner Peck Ranch to
Running River Ranch.


As we move forward as Parkway, support is still needed to help bring the river to life for thousands of families, students, and visitors. That’s why your continued involvement is more important than ever.


Join us. Stay involved. Help answer the call. Because when we invest in the river, we strengthen the entire community around it.
