Holiday Giving Guide
While most retailers are bombarding your inbox with cyber Monday deals; we feel compelled to highlight some of our favorite non-profits. If you are planning some end of the year giving I hope you will consider these great organizations:
- I love this organization for so many reasons. Cal Trout is leading the charge on bringing awareness to and solving California’s most significant coldwater issues. Their approac to conservation is sophisticated and effective. Perks for Golden Trout Circle Members (1k + Donation) include Fishing Trips, guest speakers, cocktail hours and more.
2. Western River Conservancy -
They have a highly effective and long lasting approach to conservation. They buy large tracts of land on critical watersheds. They then restore and deed the property to whichever public agency they determine to be most appropriate (state or national parks.) Perks of large donors include some very special fishing opportunities
