The Freshwater Trust restores rivers and streams

The Freshwater Trust is an action-oriented not-for-profit that restores rivers and streams throughout Oregon.

With more than 30 years of on-the-ground experience, we are the largest restoration-focused organization in the Pacific Northwest, and the second largest conservation group based in Oregon. We have a unique mix of in-house staff expertise, ranging from fish biologists and hydrologists to GIS experts, business and conservation systems analysts, attorneys and ecosystem services analysts.

We use cooperative, market-based solutions that benefit rivers, working lands and local communities – from working with landowners to keep more water in streams to streamlining restoring processes to achieve greater pace and scale to improving aquatic habitat using a localized approach.

Our rivers are in trouble, but we can fix them.

We have entered a new environmental era, one with far more daunting problems than we faced 50 years ago. Ensuring a more resilient future will require fundamentally changing the course of conservation. We need to have laser focus on solutions that are big enough – and bold enough – to match the scale of the problem. That’s what The Freshwater Trust is doing for rivers.
