Happy ! Across the country, Trout Unlimited works with local partners and U.S. Forest Service to ensure trails are accessible and safe.
On Washington State's Mount Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest, TU and our partners are are improving and maintaining Snoquera trails, connecting that existing network to the Pacific Crest Trail, and improving camping opportunities. This work engages a wide range of communities, and benefits anglers, hunters, hikers, bikers and ATV users on public lands near Tacoma and Seattle (photo: )
On Alaska's Tongass National Forest, TU replaced a failing culvert that was blocking fish passage to upstream spawning habitat and washing out a nearby trailhead parking lot during high flows. The culvert is on a tributary of Situk River, which hosts the state’s largest run of steelhead and is a popular angling destination.
In the George Washington/Jefferson National Forest, TU replaced a failed culvert on Furnace Branch, a small stream high in the Upper James River watershed in Virginia. The project not only reconnected several miles of coldwater habitat that home to native brook trout, it improved access to a 5,000-acre tract of land that’s popular among hikers, hunters and other outdoors enthusiasts.
