Niagara ChapterThe Niagara Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada is a conservation organization made up of volunteers who care about the last remaining cold water aquatic system in Niagara: Twelve Mile Creek. With our partners, we are working to preserve, protect, and enhance the Twelve for this and future generations. The best indicator of a healthy cold water environment is the presence of Brook Trout, the most fragile of the trout species and the only native trout in Ontario streams. Once plentiful in Niagara, they have been backed into a few small corners where conditions remain favourable for their survival and reproduction.
To join our Chapter and support our efforts: become a member of Trout Unlimited Canada at www.tucanada.org and specify Niagara Chapter. Memberships are $40 (which is a tax deductible donation) |
