A man standing on rocky shore holding a large fish at a lake during sunset, with rolling hills in the background.

During my childhood, I was never able to experience the joy of outdoor activities such as camping, canoeing, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature. It took me years to learn these skills and enjoy the outdoors. Even to this day, I am still learning. This is why the Tuolumne River Trust is crucial in educating, advocating, and restoring the Tuolumne; they help create opportunities for people to recreate outdoors.

The Tuolumne is more than just a source of the wonderful water that gives us life. It is also the life sustaining habitat for a host of creatures, and I tend to see the T itself as a living thing. TRT seeks to foster this living thing, and all the living things it supports. We do this by advocating on the river's behalf, educating people about its role in our lives, and restoring the watershed.

I have been a supporter of the Tuolumne River Trust for over a decade. Initially promulgated by Peter Drekmeier and from his idea an organization was born. This organization has grown significantly and today is a respected voice for the Tuolumne River watershed. It has been wonderful to see a grassroots organization with a modest beginning bloom to what it is today. It is an effective advocate through political action that has gained respect from its piers. Well done! Keep forging ahead, the job is far from being over!

We are privileged to have such a great resource in our community that flows through our riverside neighborhoods. I care about the Tuolumne of selfish reasons because I want my children and great grandchildren to enjoy a beautiful river that runs through out neighborhood.

The woman is wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and fashion sunglasses. In the background, there is a wall covered with green ivy.

We truly appreciate TRT’s stewardship to protect and restore historical populations of Chinook salmon and Central Valley steelhead to the Tuolumne watershed. Fishing for these species in a healthy river system is a fly fisher’s dream…a dream TRT can help realize for future generations.

With your support, TRT educates hundreds more students, just like my son, and help them see the value of being leaders in their community and taking action to protect and restore their neighborhoods.
