About Us
Trout Unlimited, a national organization of over 150,000 members, is dedicated to conserving, protecting and restoring North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Its vision is to ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters.
The Truchas Chapter works to carry out TU’s vision in the waters of northern New Mexico through our conservation projects, youth programs, fundraising efforts, communications, and advocacy.
