To honor Charles, please consider donating to one of the following non-profits supporting what he loved. The list includes fishing charities to preserve The Feather River, sustainability for trout and salmon, fish hatcheries impacting Pyramid Lake, and the ecosystem that is all tied together through Mother Nature. Alternatively, please consider a donation to Circle of Life Hospice which supported his transition to the other side. We believe he’s there fishing in the heavens, now.

Preserve Feather River Salmon
American Rivers played a lead role in the relicensing of Oroville Dam, the tallest in the United States and the largest dam in the California State Water Project. Oroville blocks salmon and steelhead from reaching many miles of spawning habitat and dramatically alters the flows and water quality of the Feather River downstream. In 2006, participants in the relicensing reached a settlement agreement that will benefit the Feather River by improving flows and water temperatures for salmon, restoring floodplain habitat and expanding habitat for salmon and steelhead, and more. As of March 2013, implementation of the settlement agreement is still pending approval of the National Marine Fisheries Association.
Help protect our rivers and the clean water, wildlife and recreation they support. Your donation helps to continue powerful advocacy for restoring dammed rivers, protecting wild rivers, and revitalizing river communities. American Rivers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
