We need YOU to step up as a TU leader to serve on our National Leadership Council (NLC) workgroups. These workgroups play a critical role in advancing TU’s strategic priorities by providing leadership, expertise, and collaborative problem-solving across key priorities to sustain trout and salmon for the future.

Volunteers will work alongside TU staff and fellow leaders from across the country to help shape initiatives, develop recommendations, and strengthen TU’s impact for coldwater fisheries and the communities that depend on them.

Over a dozen workgroups are available. If you’re passionate about TU’s mission and interested in contributing your skills, experience, and perspective at a national level, get involved here: https://bit.ly/4qYrGFI

Join us next Wednesday for a free zoom presentation- link in bio to sign up!

Join TU’s Mining Coordinator, Ty Churchwell, for an online presentation on the Good Samaritan Act, a big win for conservation! The recently passed Good Samaritan Law allows organizations like Trout Unlimited to restore abandoned mine lands without being treated as legally responsible for the pollution. This long-overdue liability protection removes a major barrier to voluntary cleanups, opening the door for TU to improve water quality and revitalize coldwater fisheries in places we’ve historically had to avoid—giving trout, salmon, and the communities that depend on them a fighting chance.
