Rivers are the lifelines of our planet, nurturing both human and natural ecosystems. One such remarkable river, the Tuolumne River, has captured the hearts of many with its mesmerizing beauty and vital role in sustaining life in Northern California. The Tuolumne River Trust, in collaboration with several sponsors including FlowWest, organized a grand event known as River Day to celebrate the river's splendor and raise awareness about its conservation. This year's River Day, held on June 4th 2023 at San Francisco's Little Marina Green, marked the 50th anniversary of World Environment Day and highlighted the importance of supporting local watersheds.
