About
American Canyon Parks Foundation Environmental Education and Community Nature Programs offers activities such as Wetlands Trail Clean Up Day, Slow Stroll at Wetlands, themed hikes, Naturalist Walks, and Wetlands Coffee Mornings. The program also includes Watershed Environmental Education Programs, Watershed Explorers, Discovery Days, StoryWalk, Teen WILD, summer enrichment programs, WILD AC seminars, and a screen time to green time campaign.
The Parks Foundation is dedicated to educating youth, protecting the environment, and fostering community connections. Over the past decade, the Parks Foundation has contributed over $800,000 to the community. The Parks Foundation is a 1% for the Planet approved Environmental Partner. The Parks Foundation is the only local non-profit organization that uses the outdoors to improve community health, children’s education, and social connection in American Canyon. The programs serve 20,000 people each year in nature programming and have helped the community spend 35,000 hours outside, including over 5,500 hours of meaningful nature experiences. Over 2,500 students have participated in Watershed Environmental Education Programs, more than 11,000 people have attended themed hikes, events, and Wetlands Coffee Mornings, over 500 kids have joined summer enrichment programs, 685 people have learned about wildlife at WILD AC seminars, and 625 community members have been served with The Outdoor Connection trailside learning center.
The Parks Foundation engages community members and students in future restoration and research opportunities and works with 15 program partners. Community involvement has included 260 volunteers contributing 1,100 hours of volunteer park support, and more than 100 Teen WILD participants volunteering over 1,300 hours in the community. The organization has removed invasive ice plant from the wetlands, removed over 650 pounds of trash from local wetlands, installed outdoor exercise equipment at Wetlands Edge, and built The Outdoor Connection, a trailside learning center, and brought it to Napa County trails. The Parks Foundation operates as a model public/private partnership between the City of American Canyon and the Parks Foundation and is part of a Wetlands Restoration Study managed by the City of American Canyon and funded through Measure AA, which includes a kayak launch feasibility study, culvert restorations, and wetlands restoration opportunities. The site repurposes an old industrial area along the Napa River Wetlands, offers new public access to pristine wetlands habitat, includes green demonstration features and a proposed kayak launch, and is centrally located in the North Bay along the San Francisco Bay Trail. Over the past decade, the Parks Foundation has contributed over $800,000 to the community. Dr. Joseph Carrillo serves as a Board Member.
