For 19 years, we’ve been partnering with the community to clean up and restore the river. Now, more than 750 people join the effort each September, and together we clean up over 81 miles of shoreline. Restoration is also a big part of what we do. Each year volunteers also clear out invasive species like Himalayan blackberry and English ivy. Since 1998, SYRCL volunteers have removed over 194,000 pounds of trash and restored several acres.

In 2012, we created the River Ambassador program because one day of cleanup a year is no longer enough to keep the Yuba clean. Each summer our volunteer team promotes an ethic of responsible, non-polluting use of the river by speaking one-on-one with visitors at crossings, beaches and on trails. Using a friendly, non-confrontational approach, Ambassadors educate folks about the polluting impacts of trash and dog waste, the dangers of broken glass, and the catastrophic potential of wildfire. This program provides sustained stewardship on the river all summer long.

About the Cleanup & River Ambassadors

SYRCL unites the community to protect and restore the Yuba River. Motivated by our love for this watershed, we advocate powerfully, engage in active stewardship, educate the public, and inspire activism from the Sierra to the sea.

Starting in 1983, grassroots activists successfully fought to protect the South Yuba River from dams and won permanent protections for 39 miles of the South Yuba River under California’s Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. In doing so, they created SYRCL, the central hub of community advocacy to protect, restore, and celebrate this watershed we love. With over 30 years of achievements, 3,500 members and 1,000 active volunteers, SYRCL is doing great things for the Yuba watershed. We are working to restore wild salmon to their native waters. We are replanting the banks of the lower Yuba River with trees. We are inspiring activism across the globe with our environmental film festival. Together, we are extending our powerful coalition from the summit to the sea.
