What’s important to you?
A word from CalTrout’s ED, Curtis Knight
We recently published The Watershed Review, our annual update on the 30+ projects across 14 keystone initiatives we’re working on around the state. As a friend of CalTrout, you’re familiar with some of these projects and likely have a favorite or two. Bringing down the Klamath dams, making the Eel River an epic salmon and steelhead fishery once again, or perhaps reshaping the way water is managed throughout the state. You are with us because ensuring California has abundant wild fish thriving in healthy waters is important to you.
Looking through the Review, it always amazes me how much our statewide staff of 20 accomplishes. We are a lean organization and consistently ‘punch above our weight class’. Over the past five years we have experienced strong growth and are increasing the CalTrout footprint across the state. Still, we have limited resources and cannot be everywhere, which requires focus and careful planning as we prioritize our work.
The Watershed Review shows the progress we’ve made protecting strongholds, restoring headwaters and reconciling landscapes. It also lays out our plan for this coming year. It’s because of your support we can put this plan into action.
With thanks,
