About Trout Unlimited: Founded in 1959, TU’s mission is to conserve, protect, and restore North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Today, TU is a national non-profit organization with 140,000 volunteers organized into over 400 chapters from Maine to Montana to Alaska. This dedicated grassroots army is matched by a respected staff of lawyers, policy experts, and scientists who work out of more than 30 offices nationwide. These conservation professionals ensure that TU is at the forefront of fisheries conservation work at the local, state and national levels.

Delivering Solid Outcomes: From its hundreds of local stream restoration projects, to helping lead the way to remove the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine, to compelling Congress to strengthen the Clean Water Act, TU has a strong 50 year track record of conservation achievements. Perhaps TU's greatest strength is that it works at multiple levels of society and government to achieve its mission. From the landowner on the stream bank, to the state fisheries agency, to the Halls of Congress, TU is working to achieve its vision.
