CTU's Troutfest Colorado 2025 is May 31st

CTU’s Trout in the Classroom program is more than a science project—it’s a powerful way to connect students, educators, and the wider community with local waterways. From hands-on trout release events at the Carson Nature Center to CSU Spur’s first-ever homeschool-focused trout release, these moments inspire curiosity and conservation. With each trout released, students gain a deeper understanding of rivers, ecosystems, and their role as stewards of Colorado’s aquatic life. Keep an eye out for upcoming events—there’s more to discover, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

New Opportunity for Mine Waste Removal

A bipartisan bill, SB-054, is advancing in Colorado to support cleanup of abandoned mine sites by streamlining permits for waste rock removal and processing. It ensures environmental protections while encouraging private sector involvement in reclamation. This approach complements Trout Unlimited’s ongoing efforts to improve watershed health across the state.
