Our Mission
Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Trout, steelhead, charr and salmon across the nation are in trouble from years of abuse and neglect and ever-increasing population and development pressures. These fish can't speak for themselves; they depend on concerned citizens to speak for them. And Trout Unlimited members do just that. At 130,000 strong and growing, our members and volunteers are the best friends these fish have.
By combining "on the ground" restoration efforts, cutting-edge scientific research and effective advocacy on behalf of our coldwater fisheries, TU has been the most effective steward for coldwater fisheries nationwide.
Our chapter takes on local issues like stream restoration or hydropower relicensing and organize youth education events. Our CT state council advocates for salmonids in the state legislature or governor's office, strengthening existing protections and challenging new threats. TU's national fundraising initiatives such as the Coldwater Conservation Fund and the Embrace-A-Stream program provide hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for groundbreaking scientific research and local instream restoration projects across the country. TU's national office advocates in Washington, D.C. and in the courts, and supports our individual chapters and state councils.
