Wild Fish

The Freshwater Trust is dedicated to the truism that conservation benefits people, communities and the economy on which we depend. Habitat loss is the single most important factor contributing to salmon declines, and restoring habitat function is critical to salmon productivity. By identifying key “anchor habitats” or “refugia” for salmon and working with stakeholders on restoration and education, the Fish Refuge Program takes direct aim at what may be our best, last chance to provide long-term protection and restoration to these species and the ecosystems upon which we all depend. For all projects, we work to purchase supplies and hire contractors locally, providing the ingredients for development of restoration-based local economies.
