Help JHTU Unlock Additional Funding Through the Embrace a Stream Challenge
Greetings JHTU members,
Please help your local Jackson Hole TU chapter raise funds for projects in our home waters!
We are participating in Trout Unlimited’s Embrace A Stream Challenge this week (until 11:59 pm on Sunday, November 13) – and we need your help! Our chapter recently received an Embrace A Stream grant for $6,000 to support our Lower Snake River Ranch Stabilization and Fish Habitat Project, and now we have a chance to raise even more for this important project!
Your donation of $10 or more will go directly towards the Lower Snake River Ranch Stabilization and Fish Habitat Project (#5 on our project site) - a project to improve fish habitat for Snake River cutthroat trout and reduce bank erosion along a 2,000-foot segment of the Snake River near Munger Mountain (along the "Wilson to South Park stretch") while showcasing techniques and materials that support natural processes. In addition, it seeks to engage partners and community members in our work.
The Embrace A Stream Challenge is a week-long competition to help bring critical funding to important local Trout Unlimited chapter projects in streams and schools across the country. Leveraging our network of more than 400 local chapters and councils, we are challenging all of our members and supporters to “Give Where You Fish” and ensure our coldwater resources get the help they need now more than ever. With dozens of great projects – and rivers – to choose from, you have the power to make an impact on a river close to home, or on a storied stream you’ve always wanted to fish. Best of all, your donation helps your local chapter and local volunteers make a difference in their home waters. Thanks to Trout Unlimited supporters from across the country, your donation of $10 or will be doubled with matching grants up to $500 and can unlock other cash prizes to support these projects.
Here are 3 easy ways you can help us:
1. Go to www.embraceastream.org, search for Jackson Hole Trout Unlimited and make a donation.
2. Forward this email to 10 fishing friends and fellow conservationists and encourage them to join you in giving to JHTU!
3. Go to our Facebook page and “share” our messages to your network and be sure to use #embraceastream
We are incredibly grateful to you, our members, for your continued support through Old Bill's Fun Run, Tie One On, and volunteering. Thank you for considering also helping us through the Embrace A Stream Challenge.
Sincerely,
the JHTU Board
