Conservation Programs and Issues
Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds. TU's vision is to ensure that robust populations of native and coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters. TU's national network of dedicated volunteers and professional staff conduct on-the-ground research and restoration projects, and advocate for fish-friendly policies and legislation at the local, state and national levels.Greenback cutthroat trout recovery:
