Overview
Trout Unlimited (TU) is an organization of conservation-minded anglers who use science, public policy and volunteer conservation activity to conserve trout and salmon fisheries. The organization has 150,000 members and 400 chapters nationwide. TU reestablished its Alaska Program in 2005 and their primary areas of focus are its Bristol Bay protection campaign and efforts to protect and restore habitat in the Tongass Rainforest of Southeast Alaska.
This grant will assist TU in its ongoing campaign to prevent construction of the massive proposed Pebble Mine and proposed mining activity on adjacent federal lands in the headwaters of Alaska's Bristol Bay. This fits within the Hewlett Foundation's grant-making priorities to protect wilderness and to engage new advocates for the environment. (New, $150,000/2; 8% of project budget)
