Who We Are
Did You Know? - About Us
"What's the difference between Trout Conservancy and Trout Unlimited?"
This often-asked question has an easy answer. We are not politically or legally oriented.
We are a Montana based organization devoted to enhancing, restoring and protecting wild trout habitat through direct, hands-on projects.
Most of every dollar we get goes to 'on the ground' projects with direct benefits for Montana's wild trout.
