Local Conservation Projects Are at the Heart of What We Do

We’re not just bystanders in the process. Our members provide the “boots on the ground” when it comes to doing much of the actual work in the watersheds, communities and rivers.

Overall Goals:

• Be an active, engaged and non-partisan voice for the conservation, protection and restoration of coldwater fisheries.

• Work with Trout Unlimited employees and other government agencies to support the enactment of laws, rules, and policies that responsibly maintain high water quality.

• Protect habitat by cleaning up streams, restoring degraded habitat and advocating for intelligent watershed management.

• Call for the protection, identification and special management of quality waters, including actions intended to recognize and maintain the genetic integrity of unique trout species.

• Support and conduct educational and informational outreach activities for its members and the general public to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of fly fishing, conservation and the overall mission of Trout Unlimited.

2022 Goals:

• CONSERVATION: Continuing our restoration work on Hermosa Creek as well as working with our partners in the reintroduction of the recently re-discovered San Juan Cutthroat species

• MEMBERSHIP: Increasing our chapter membership and engagement while looking to expand our diversity

• EDUCATION: Expanding our education and informational outreach activities to our members and the general public

• EVENTS: Holding conservation and fishing-related events and programs (virtual and in-person) to engage the current membership as well as draw interest from the general public
