Water Heritage Trust
The Water Heritage Trust is a program of the Resource Renewal Institute, a nonprofit environmental policy institute founded in 1985 by Huey Johnson, former California Resources Secretary and founder of the Trust for Public Land. Water Heritage Trust intends to do for water what land trusts have done for open space-preserve it to ensure the protection of endangered fish and wildlife, and to preserve the future quality of life for all citizens.
The Resource Renewal Institute (RRI) invests approximately 20 percent of its resources into developing new ideas that will be useful to public institutions. For example, RRI conceived of, founded, and launched the Grand Canyon Trust, now a successful Arizona-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the majesty and grandeur of the Grand Canyon.
