What We Do

The Freshwater Trust is an action-oriented 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that restores rivers and streams throughout Oregon. We use cooperative, market-based solutions that benefit rivers, working lands and local communities – from working with landowners to keep more water in our streams to streamlining restoring processes to achieve greater pace and scale to improving aquatic habitat using a localized approach. With growing concern about the health of our freshwater ecosystems, coupled with climate change pressures and population growth, we know we have to address declines in river and stream health now.
