GBTU 2026-27 Guest Speaker #2

Friends of our clean coldwater resources !

We can't wait for you to join us as we learn about the WI DNR Brook Trout Reserve Program w/ Chris Collier !!

Presentation:

Below is a description of the WI DNR Brook Trout Reserve Program (WEBSITE LINK):

"Brook trout are a beautiful, yet sensitive fish. They are the only stream trout native to our beautiful Wisconsin landscape. Their homes are the cold, clear streams that meander our landscape. But brook trout are losing their homes.

Two out of every three streams they reside in now are projected to be too warm in 30 years. The remaining places are the brook trout strongholds – where streams can stay cold and brook trout can thrive. We call these our Brook Trout Reserves, and we've identified the top 54 – the best of the best. These reserves require action from all of us to continue to provide critical habitat for brook trout, and places for Wisconsin anglers to pursue them. We need to take action to preserve the cold water in these strongholds and protect brook trout from other threats.

As anglers, landowners, farmers, foresters and Wisconsinites, we can all have a part in these actions, and we must if we want these strongholds to remain strong and the breathtaking brook trout to persist in our state. If we can work together to conserve brook trout, we'll have protected and restored healthy lands and waters for everyone to enjoy."

Chris's Bio:

Chris Collier is Trout Unlimited Great Lakes Stream Restoration (TU GLSR) Program Manager. He has many years of experience and a passion for protecting Wisconsin's coldwater resources.
