Green Bay TU 2025.26 Guest Speaker Meeting #5
Details
Overview:
The relationship between Beaver and Trout is interesting, to say the least.
Our March guest speaker, Matt Mitro, will share data and insight on what effects beavers can have on a trout stream.
Matt recently gave this presentation (or a similar one) at the WI TU State meeting. Between amazing visuals and incredible insight, I was awesome.

Presentation:
Our March guest speaker will talk about the trout-beaver study (the effects of beaver dams on coldwater stream habitat and trout populations in Wisconsin). He may also briefly introduce a couple of new projects I’ll be working on.
