Colorado Trout Unlimited hosted a series of five, two hour virtual camp events called TU Teen LIVE for Summer 2020. Participants got a virtual tour of a Colorado Parks and Wildlife fish hatchery, learned more about their watershed, determined how to select their fly based on macroinvertebrates, and met a panel of people who have careers in water conservation and fishing.

In June, the Senate passed the Great American Outdoors Act by a wide bipartisan margin. A huge thank you went out to those that spoke up in support and contacted their Senators. The Great American Outdoors Act provides full dedicated funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and allocates $9.5 billion over five years to help address deferred maintenance needs on public lands.

Colorado Trout Unlimited and numerous TU chapters continue to work closely with our agency partners (CPW, USFS, USFWS, NPS, BLM, etc.) to protect and expand populations of Rio Grande, Colorado River, and Greenback cutthroat trout. By working closely with land managers, other non-profit partners, private landowners, academic institutions, and communities across the state, we continue to implement on-the-ground projects that help to protect and restore habitat and populations of native trout.

During the summer of 2019, Greenbacks volunteers Emma Brown and George Bryant embarked on an adventure across Colorado in search of the places that CTU has protected over the past 50 years. These are the stories and people that have helped write CTU's history. Check out the film and celebrate 50 years of Colorado Trout Unlimited. Watch the Film. Read the stories.
