Why?

The Joe Brooks Foundation for conservation and outdoor education will continue Joe's legacy of giving in the out-of-doors in both conservation objectives and in passing down concepts of stewardship and a love for nature to the next generation. So with this in mind it will be our endeavour with the funds raised to pursue worthwhile objectives in these area in the name of Joe Brooks Foundation.

Where did the Foundation idea come from?

Mike and Joe Brooks developed the idea to keep Joe's legacy alive and to give to the ares he was most involved in. It is the foundations aim to follow Joe's lead and walk in his footsteps.

How funds will be distributed?

We will bi-yearly consider worthwhile charities to help which are in line with our core beliefs and aims. Then we will in the newsletter report back how we are helping others and the difference your support is making.

Mission

To pay tribute to Joe Brooks and his generation of fishermen who had the passion, foresight and drive to popularize and expand the sport to vast new realms, pass down their knowledge to the next generation and begin the process of conservation of fish populations and water resources. To inspire others to have the same drive and passion in their pursuits and encourage them to give back in the same way that Joe Brooks and his peers did for the fly-fishing community. To support the efforts of non-profit organizations working in the world of fly-fishing to advance the sport, engage the next generation of fishermen and preserve fish populations and water resources.
