Description

Our Homewaters Benefit Auction is the big event for wild, native fish and free-flowing rivers in the Pacific Northwest. Any product donations will be used as auction items at the event. Revenue from this event provides a third of our annual budget and helps us continue our work as the Northwest’s leading conservation group dedicated to cultivating the groundswell of public support needed to revive abundant wild fish in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Native Fish Society has 34 active campaigns to re-wild rivers and restore healthy, abundant runs of native fish. Here are a few highlights:

 

• Our acclaimed River Steward Program supports 89 grassroots volunteers, safeguarding over 4,000 river miles and 175,000 square miles of watersheds in the Pacific Northwest.

• Across the PNW, we have safeguarded 22,000 stream miles of salmon and steelhead habitat, and clean drinking water from dredge mining.

• On the famed Oregon Deschutes River, we are working with a partner organization to remove invasive plants in order to rehabilitate Bakeoven Creek and its spawning grounds.

• In California, we collaborated with Tribal Nations and conservation partners to get the largest dam removal in history on the Klamath River back on track for 2023.

 

Your support is essential! Please join like-minded donors including Patagonia, Lange Estate Winery & Vineyard, Yeti, Mountain Rose Herbs, Higgins Restaurant & Bar, Anderson Custom Rods, and Bend Fly Shop, by donating goods or services to our Virtual Auction by March 18th, 2022.

 

All donors will be recognized on our virtual auction catalog, on social media, and in our annual report. Donors will also be promoted before and after the event in our weekly newsletter that reaches our 6,000+ subscribers.
