Orvis helps support Embrace A Stream

Orvis is partnering with Trout Unlimited to support the Embrace A Stream Program.

During the Great Giveback Days throughout the month of September, Orvis will reward a $10 donation toward EAS with a $10 Orvis savings card.

Donations may be made at a local store on at the Orvis website.

Embrace A Stream (EAS) is a matching grant program administered by TU that awards funds to TU chapters and councils for coldwater fisheries conservation. Since its inception in 1975, EAS has funded more than 1,100 individual projects with more than $4.75 million in direct cash grants.

Local TU chapters and councils contributed an additional $14 million in cash and in-kind services to EAS funded projects, for a total investment of nearly $19 million.  For current updates on EAS projects, visit the EAS Facebook page and follow #embraceastream on Instagram and Facebook.

In 2019, a total of $100,000 was awarded to 29 chapters and councils, helping restore stream habitat, improving fish passage, and protecting water quality in 19 different states from coast to coast.

Embrace A Stream grants have helped Nutmeg TU with cleanup of the Mill River along Congress Street, and will help with the next step, further restoring trout habitat there.
