The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, and Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley act in ongoing partnership. We share common goals, but each organization plays a different role in the preservation of the River Valley.

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is a private, non-profit organization established to support long-term sustainable management of the San Dieguito Watershed, focusing on the river corridor. It raises funds to acquire land to complete the River Park and to extend the segments of the Coast to Crest Trail.
The Conservancy partners with the River Park JPA, citizens, landowners, governments, and other non-governmental groups to ensure coordinated protection of the river corridor’s resources. Operations are funded by annual member donations.
