Dry Creek Conservancy

Dry Creek Conservancy collaborates with local communities to promote healthy creeks and watersheds. The group organizes various projects, such as native plantings, salmon barrier removal, and monthly meetings.

The group got its start as the Dry Creek Parkway Citizens Advisory Committee, formed to plan a coordinated system of preserved lands with a connecting corridor of walking, equestrian, and bicycle trails encompassing the Dry Creek watershed from the Sacramento County border west of Roseville to the creek’s sources. With the help of Trust for Public Land and National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program, the committee brought together more than 50 citizens, officials, and agency staff to discuss the Dry Creek Parkway concept. In 1996 the committee merged with Friends of the Roseville Parkway and incorporated as Dry Creek Conservancy, a nonprofit charitable organization.
