We are thrilled to announce Turtle Island Restoration Network is the recipient of our 2024 Impact Grant. TIRN will use our $100K grant for their Lagunitas Watershed Resiliency Project (LAWRP), with work to be accomplished by the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN), a program under TIRN that has produced measurable gains over the past 20+ years through partnerships with state and federal agencies, local organizations, and landowners. TIRN-SPAWN outreach and education programs engage hundreds of people each year throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to learn about endangered Coho salmon and the urgency of saving this species through watershed restoration, native plant propagation, and riparian revegetation.
TIRN is a long-time leading advocate for the world’s oceans and marine wildlife. Begun as an effort to save hundreds of thousands of sea turtles and other marine species through hands-on conservation, policy change, and consumer change campaigns the organization over the years grew to include other programs focused on an issue close to the organization’s headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area – including wild Coho salmon. Congratulations!
