Guadalupe River Park Conservancy

Wonderful to see Mayor Matt Mahan alongside more than 300 volunteers engaged in caring for Guadalupe River Park, one of the key sites of the local Civic Commons efforts in San José. Stewardship and maintenance of civic assets is a great way to build trust while creating a more welcoming public realm for all.

A big thank you to McCarthy for supporting our cause. They helped us revamp parts of the Visitor Center with a fresh coat of paint - we're as green as ever 💚 Not only that - they assisted in removing 330 lbs of trash from the Guadalupe River Park! AND managed to do it while looking incredibly cool 😎 #lovetheGRP

🌱 Enjoy some recap photos of our recent bare root planting workshop 😊. Thanks to @mgsantaclara and those who came out, we were able to plant and water ALL 10 bare root trees 🤩 🌾 WOW these bare root trees sure are bare. They almost look like sticks! ✨ No worries though - in up to 6 weeks these trees will start to put out its first flush of leaves. Just in time for spring 🌸 Spectacular ⭐ #lovetheGRP

Thank you to the generous support of our board and community, we have exceeded our end of year matching goal of $28,000 for a total of $56,000 fundraised to help us fulfill growing park maintenance needs!
