THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Sip, Support, Sustain event in Anchorage last week! We had a full house and lots of great energy! And big thanks to everyone who donated, including Cory Lescher Photography who donated a beautiful 12 x 18 photo that Anna Senecal won in a drawing, and Jack Dalton who challenged the room to raise $500 from 5 people as a match 😍 — it was a super fun event!

We are so grateful to the alaskaconservationfoundation for awarding CRWP the Lowell Thomas, Jr. Award for Outstanding Achievements by an Organization Doing Conservation Work, last week at the Anchorage Museum. It was such an honor to attend this event! We were excited to also receive a painting by Max Romey. Everyone who accepted an award had some powerful things to say to the audience. Fran Ulmer and Pat Pourchot both received a Lifetime Achievement Award and shared some amazing experiences. It was a heartfelt gathering and a great way to connect and share with others.

It’s big. But it is not
unaffected by change,
humans, roads, and barriers
that stop fish from reaching
spawning grounds.
CORDOVA - Today and tomorrow are the last days to buy a glass of Sandpiper Cream Ale at Copper River Brewing and have $1 from each glass sold donated to CRWP!
You can also round up your tab for CRWP in support of ongoing work to remove barriers and restore the integrity of one of the last great intact salmon rivers.
✨ This special only runs through the month of September - 2 more days - so get it while you can!
🍻 Drink Beer + 🐟 Help Fish = 💛 Awesome!

Fall is here, and that means the last of our wonderful plant program field technicians have flown the CRWP coop and are off to college and/or the next chapter.
CRWP is grateful for all the hard work our Plant Program technicians put in this summer managing invasive plants in the Copper Basin and Cordova, and helping with the Native Seed Program. Our techs were super motivated and a joy to work with!
Big thanks to Serena Herschleb and Maddie Tharp in the Cordova office, and Rachel Ryan and Alvin Albert in the Copper Basin office. Thank you for all the good word you did! The home team wishes you a fun and successful year ahead!

ANCHORAGE - We`re sending a shout out to people who attended our event tonight at the Glacier Brewhouse and may have grabbed the wrong Patagonia puff coat. It has house keys in the pocket and the owner needs it back.
Thank you so much for coming tonight, and for helping the coat find its way back to the event.
👉🏼 Please share!
TONIGHT in Anchorage!!! We`re throwing a happy hour celebration at The Glacier Brewhouse to thank you - our donors and partners for helping make the Little Tonsina Bridge a success!

Join us for appetizers and a drink on us, and help raise a glass to the river and raise funds to continue removing barriers and restoring the integrity of one of the last intact salmon rivers.

CORDOVA - Fishing Web recycling has been rescheduled to September 25-26!
♻️ Drop off and recycle your old fishing web at the Baler on Whitshed Road September 25-26, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm!
Recycling keeps your nets out of the landfill and turns them into useful products like shoes, hats, knives, and other items. Web has to be free of cork lines, weed lines, lead lines, purse lines, chafe gear and hangings - those can be recycled separately.
🥫 Aluminum cans are accepted for recycling behind AC and at the Baler on Whitshed Rd. anytime! The money raised from recycling aluminum cans goes towards making the net recycling program possible. It`s a win-win!!
♻️ Thanks for recycling your used fishing gear, keeping it out of the landfill, and repurposing it into useful items!
