A few members on the Appalachian Chapter of TU attended the semi-annual Cold Waters Meeting and the quarterly Tennessee TU meeting. We would like to extend our appreciation to TVA for hosting the meeting and for providing detailed information and answers at the meeting and on their outstanding website.

 On May 27th, Greg Fairchild, Jim Herrig, Sandy Macey, and Robert Wilson attended chainsaw training at the Ocoee Ranger Station. This training certifies them as Level A chainsaw operators which will allow them to operate chainsaws in the National Forest. These skills will be used to trim overgrown rhododendron which causes streams to flood their banks, resulting in stream siltation.

Trout Unlimited Works to Restore Brook Trout to the Southern Appalachian Mountains |
|
|
|
Thursday, 04 May 2006 |
|
by Jim Herrig
Brook trout are the only trout native to the eastern United States. Their numbers have diminished over the past decades to levels that threaten their extirpation in many areas. Trout Unlimited has initiated a program – Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture – to restore these beautiful fish to portions of their original range. The Appalachian Chapter of Trout Unlimited (Chattanooga Area) has been working with a number of partners to restore brook trout to streams in the Tellico Area on the Cherokee National Forest.
