The U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $384,456 Project Grant under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) to restore native Eastern brook trout populations in four streams totaling 14.6 km (9.1 miles) in the Jocassee Gorges Natural Area. The project aims to eradicate non-native rainbow trout, enhance in-stream habitat, and reintroduce native brook trout in the targeted streams. Key...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Multistate Conservation Grant Program (CFDA 15.628) provides $176,029 to Colorado State University to develop a database of brook trout population surveys and stream temperature measurements across the eastern U.S. The project will model and rank watersheds for brook trout habitat suitability under climate change, and make this spatial information available to trout managers in 16 states. A sub-grant of $105,863 was...
This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) program, provides $120,000 to Trout Unlimited, Inc. to facilitate habitat restoration and enhance aquatic organism passage within the Connecticut River Basin in Vermont. The project aims to restore, enhance, and reconnect brook trout habitat through activities such as barrier (dam and culvert) removal and coordination with USFWS...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (under CFDA Program 15.608 - Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) provides $329,464.74 to the University of Wisconsin System to study brook trout habitats and movements in Minnesota's Lake Superior tributary streams. The research aims to: 1) determine seasonal habitat use and movements of brook trout, brown trout, and steelhead trout; 2) assess habitat overlap and competition between native brook...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $120,000 Project Grant to Trout Unlimited, Inc. under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) program. The grant will fund the McCoy Creek Wet Meadow Restoration Project, a 2.1-mile stream restoration initiative on public lands managed by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The project aims to improve habitat for Yellowstone cutthroat trout and other native species by reconnecting the stream to its historic floodplain, enhancing wet...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631), provides $200,000 in funding to the Essex County Department of Public Works (ECDPW) to restore, enhance, and reconnect brook trout habitat within the Lake Champlain Basin in New York. ECDPW will work cooperatively with partners and landowners throughout the watershed to achieve restoration outcomes developed through a watershed management plan and other shared...
This $749,924 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) on May 1, 2025, aims to understand how trout fisheries in the American Mountain West region are impacted by climate change and how stakeholders and managers are reacting to these changes. The project will use Earth system modeling and social science surveys to examine the socio-ecological system of climate, hydrology, fisheries ecology, outdoor recreation, tourism, and policy-making. It...
This $1.2 million Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 will fund the restoration of aquatic connectivity in the North Branch Potomac River (NBPR) watershed in Maryland. The project, under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), will remove eight barriers to improve connectivity along 30 miles of stream habitat that supports Eastern Brook Trout populations. Key activities include replacing two culverts, removing a dam,...
This $170,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) program supports the Driftless Area Restoration Effort (DARE) led by Trout Unlimited, Inc. The grant funds will be used to coordinate conservation activities with partner organizations across a four-state region to reduce sediment and nutrient inputs, conserve and restore aquatic habitats, and increase fish populations and recreational opportunities in the Driftless...
This $110,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.686 - National Fish Habitat Partnership) supports a multi-faceted project to secure, restore, and maintain Yellowstone cutthroat trout populations in the Mill Creek subwatershed in Montana. The primary goals are to construct a fish barrier to protect 10 miles of headwater streams from invasive rainbow trout, and to restore degraded habitat in a 3-mile meadow reach of Mill...
