Our Mission
By utilizing hands-on environmental conservation efforts and offering innovative practices for land stewards — we can help promote environmentally sound conservation techniques and affirm the basic environmental rights that can help restore and renew a naturally healthy forest environment.
We’ll pick-up where the previous generation of leaders like Judi Bari, and other prominent eco-defenders and community leaders have left off.
There’s never been a better time in our lives to educate the public and inspire support for restoring healthy and natural ecosystems through outreach and environmental conservation. Friends of the Noyo River will work to protect the environment, save lives and increase the quality of life for everyone in our community.
