Bristol Bay, located in western Alaska, is home to some of the world's largest salmon runs. Known as "Serengeti of Alaska", the region supports world-class trophy trout, massive brown bears, stunning scenery, and millions of acres of remote wilderness, making it a sport angler's paradise. All of this is risked by the Pebble mine, an open pit copper and gold mine proposed for the region's headwaters.

An opportunity to protect this important region is upon us, and we need your help

A bill titled Bristol Bay Protection Act is making its way through Congress. Rep. Peltola (D-AK) introduced the bill last spring, and it was recently co-sponsored by Rep. Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.
Please use the ‘Take Action’ link below to ask your representatives to support this bill.

Officers and Board members of our chapter were invited to the Dedication Ceremony for the new purchase of 528 acres of woodland by the Foundation for Sustainable Forests on August 12.
Labeled as the Dotyville Hill Forest, it now is part of the 1,200 acres of protected land known as the Caldwell Creek Watershed Conservation Project. It includes significant frontage along Caldwell Creek’s delayed harvest section and will insure that this property will be open for public fishing, hunting, hiking and bird watching into perpetuity.
The project was made possible with a grant from Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCNR) via the Keystone Fund and additional support from the John Nesbit Rees and Sarah Henne Rees Foundation, Trout Unlimited’s Northwest PA Chapter, Caldwell Creek Chapter and the Stec Family.
Our Chapter was pleased and honored that we could help make this project possible with our letter of support and $1,000 donation assisting the Foundation secure their grant funding.
Attending from our Chapter for a walking tour and presentation by Foundation members were President Bill Eckert and Board Members Matt Kerr, Jack Bock and Rick Gilson.
