Protect
American River Canyons (PARC) is an Auburn-based grassroots educational
group dedicated to the preservation of the wilderness, recreational,
cultural, and historical resources of the North and Middles Forks
of the American River and its canyons for all to responsibly care
for and enjoy. PARC sponsors the Confluence Festival, outings and
river cleanups. PARC makes public presentations, publishes the American
River Guide Book and a seasonal newsletter, and remains alert to
the political situation of the canyons. PARC is a member of the
American River Coalition which coordinates American River lobbying
efforts. The North and Middle forks of the American River flow west
through the scenic canyons of the central Sierra Nevada to its confluence
with the Sacramento River in California's capital city. The river's
spacious canyons include nationally significant cultural and natural
features that draw visitors from all over the world. The Auburn
State Recreation Area (encompassing 48 river miles) stretches from
Colfax on the North Fork and Foresthill on the Middle Fork to Auburn.
It is the focus of PARC's American River Guide Book, a 350 page
resource guide to the canyons. The book is available through PARC
or at bookstores.| Protect American River Canyons is dedicated to the protection and conservation of the natural, recreational, cultural, and historical resources of the North and Middle Forks of the American River and its canyons, for all to care for and enjoy. |
