Partnering to Protect California Wildlife

To help protect California's diverse wildlife, PG&E established the Nature Restoration Trust with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). Working in partnership, the organizations provide grants to community-based restoration projects that benefit wildlife, fish and plant species in Northern and Central California. Additionally, the Trust seeks to fund projects that foster local stewardship of natural resources through youth education, training and outreach.
