Twin Cities TU Annual Meeting

Please join us for our annual board elections, a chapter update, and an update by Minnesota TU's Executive Director, John Lenczewski.  

John Lenczewski is the Executive Director of Minnesota Council of Trout Unlimited. He is a lifelong trout angler and Trout Unlimited member, joining TU as a teenager.  He has dedicated his career to coldwater conservation, advocating environmental issues at the state, local, and federal level. Since 2009 he has secured and managed a series of habitat restoration grants from the State which have allowed MNTU to restore habitat on more than 100 miles of streams in southeast MN, the Twin Cities area, the North Shore, and streams across the state.  Beginning in 2015 he secured funding for MNTU to establish a statewide education program, using the Trout in the Classroom curriculum.  He is passionate about helping members and chapters protect and restore their local trout waters.

John's presentation is titled: "The State of Coldwater Conservation in Minnesota"
