Description |
Trout Unlimited (TU) is America's oldest and largest coldwater fisheries conservation organization. TU's mission is to conserve, protect, and restore North America's native trout and salmon and their watersheds. Founded in 1959, TU has more than 150,000 members nationwide organized into 450 local chapters. In Oregon, TU has a full-time staff of 12 working across the state in coordination with our over 3,000 members. TU has an excellent track-record of conservation results. TU operates under a simple, yet effective conservation formula – protect, reconnect, restore, and sustain. Where rivers and fish populations are intact, we protect them. Where they are fragmented by dams or dewatering, we reconnect them. Where they are degraded, we restore them. And to sustain these efforts into the future, we invest in youth education and outreach, creating a new generation of stream champions to continue our work.
