Welcome to FOSCR!

Friends of the Santa Cruz River (FOSCR) was formed in 1991 to "protect and enhance the flow and water quality of the Santa Cruz River." Our non-profit, all-volunteer group focuses on the perennial (year-round flow) portion of the river, from its headwaters in the San Rafael Valley, south into Mexico, and then north to through Santa Cruz County to the Pima County line. We work with riverside landowners, government agencies, and other citizens and community groups to keep the river flowing, its banks clean and green, and its environment bountiful to both wildlife and people.
