If you choose, you can make a $25 Donation with your pledge and get a ‘Premium Membership,’ which comes with lots of free gifts including a Recycled Fish T-shirt in your choice of black, green or brown. A $5 donation and we’ll send you a basic Stewardship Kit.

Sportsman’s Stewardship Pledge
- I pledge to live a lifestyle of stewardship on and off the water. Living as a steward means making choices throughout my daily life that benefit lakes, streams and seas - and the fish that swim in them - because my lifestyle runs downstream.
- I will learn the fish and game laws where I hunt or fish and always abide by them.
- I will practice Catch & Release and Selective Harvest faithfully and responsibly.
- I will "police my resource" by turning in poachers and reporting polluters.
- I will make up for "the other guy" by cleaning up litter wherever my adventures take me.
- I will boat safely and responsibly, never trespass, and treat other enthusiasts respectfully
- I will provide my time, money, or other resources to support stewardship efforts.
- I will take steps to see that my home, lawn, vehicle, workplace and everyday lifestyle are as fish-friendly as I can make them by reducing my water, energy, material and chemical footprint.
- I will encourage others to take on this ethic and will connect others with the outdoors to grow the stewardship community.
- I choose to serve as a role model in protecting what remains and recovering what’s been lost of our wild and natural places.
- I am a steward.
The above is agreed to on this day by me, and in committing to this ethic, I join the mounting tide of outdoorsman-conservationists who are working to be active, primary stewards of our natural resources.
