Habitat Support
When you sign up for Green Future programs, you can add Habitat Support for just $2.50 extra per month. 100% of your donation will go directly to The Freshwater Trust, dedicated to the restoration of local fish habitats.
When fish swim, we all win.
Did you know? When fish habitats thrive, they support birds, plants, insects and other wildlife too. Protecting fish habitats helps keep whole ecosystems in balance. Efforts to restore fish habitats often include improving water quality, preventing erosion and protecting watersheds. That means safer drinking water, cleaner recreation areas and a healthier Oregon.
How you can help protect the waters that sustain life
Your donation to The Freshwater Trust enables them to administer multiple grants that restore habitat in PGE’s service area.
