New Jersey anglers can be found wherever wily salmonidae take us. So, naturally, NJ TU conservation efforts aren’t limited to our local streams.
We contribute time, support, and funding to projects from New York’s Catskill region to the Rocky Mountains. New Jersey anglers joined the fight to save the Esopus River from an ill-conceived power generating project, defeated a sewage treatment plant on the Beaverkill, and have aided projects on Maine’s Penobscot River, Idaho’s Henry’s Fork and Pennsylvania’s Pine Creek. The New Jersey state council is one of three member-states’ councils (NY and PA being the other two) who, along with TU National and several like-minded conservation organizations, make up the Conservation Coalition – a group dedicated to improving the flows and protecting aquatic habitat on the Delaware River and its tributaries. To learn more about the Coalition’s work, visit their website for more information here: www.drarp.org.
Trout Unlimited makes it our policy to keep a close eye on legislation that impacts our coldwater fisheries. With volunteer and professional resources in Trenton and Washington, both national and local governments hear from us whenever our coldwater fisheries are endangered.
