Major Donors (CCF)

Smith River

Coldwater Conservation Fund

From fish tagging on the Henry’s Fork to dam removal on the Penobscot, Trout Unlimited’s professional conservation projects rely on the steadfast support of CCF members. These visionary individuals donate at least $1,000 a year, or $100 a month, to conserve, protect and restore North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.

Since 1992, CCF members have helped to keep rainbows in the Madison, brookies in Appalachia and epic salmon runs in Bristol Bay. They are the driving force behind some of TU’s most important efforts, as a quick look at the current CCF projects indicates.

CCF members enjoy exceptional opportunities to experience the resource they’re so committed to saving. Benefits include:

  • Exclusive fishing trips, which combine great fishing and lodging with briefings on TU’s conservation work. Click here for a list of upcoming trips.
