Trout Unlimited River Restoration Projects

At our August 7th meeting, Scott Catton and Kayleigh Mullen, Trout Unlimited (TU) staff biologists and project managers gave a short overview of some of their activities in Utah. TU has eight staff members doing a wide range of conservation and fishery enhancement projects throughout the state. They identify problems, develop corrective actions, identify and seek funding, and then manage the work.

There are several stream restoration projects this year for which Scott would like HCFF members to help. Scott is partnered with Sageland Collaborative on projects on Fish Creek, Crandall Creek, and South Fork of Chalk Creek.

Sageland Collaborative BDA-Building Opportunities: Sageland Collaborative is HCFF’s newest conservation partner. Their mission is to provide science-based strategies for wildlife and land conservation. For more information on this group, visit their website: Sageland Collaborative. Be sure to look at the videos of the BDAs, which includes interviews with land-owners, the BDA-building process, and the beaver releases. Sign up on their website to participate. Let Jayne Guyse know if you plan to participate to be connected with other HCFF participants.

Utah DWR Electro-Fishing and Gill-Netting Opportunities
