Western Rivers Conservancy

Memorial Day is upon us. It’s the unofficial start of summer!

Make your first gift of $35+ to Western Rivers Conservancy by May 26 and we’ll send you a very special, limited-edition hat—a one-time design made only for WRC supporters this summer.

Bonus: a generous donor is matching all first time gifts up to a total of $100k, so every dollar you donate gets doubled.

Your gift permanently protects fish and wildlife habitat, restores water to rivers and streams, and keeps wild places open to all.

Head to the link in our bio to give, and get your hat!

Last week, volunteers rolled up their sleeves and joined Western Rivers Conservancy and the USFWS out on the East Fork Carson River in California’s Eastern Sierra.

At the Park Ranch property that WRC is working to conserve, a crew of almost two dozen tackled a full day of fence removal and modification. Thanks to their enthusiasm and hard work, we accomplished even more than we planned!

Here’s what that work meant for the river:

- Relocating fencing keeps cows out of the stream and protects riparian habitat.
- The removed fencing makes it easier for people to get to the river.
- Remaining fences now have smooth top-wire instead of barbed, which will protect elk, mule deer and other animals that jump over or through the fences left in place for controlled compatible grazing.

Patagonia has been a longtime supporter of WRC, and getting to work alongside company volunteers last week was a gift. Park Ranch will now be in much healthier shape when we transfer it to Alpine County. And then it will be protected and open to the public!

Huge thank you, Patagonia! The fish, wildlife and people who love the East Fork Carson are better off because of you.

Geese gone viral? Huh. We’ve always been fans.

Only a short time left to jump on this! —the digital fishing tool that will up your game—is supporting WRC by offering their PRO membership for just $19.99 (the lowest it’s ever been!). They’re donating everything raised during this campaign to WRC to support our work protecting the great rivers of the West. Please support this effort!
