Rhode Island TU Speaks Up Against Stocking Over Wild Native Fish
“Therefore, The Rhode Island Chapter of Trout Unlimited supports the cessation of stocking in streams with a self-sustaining wild brook trout population, including the upper Wood River Watershed. ”
NFC has had a good working relationship with Rhode Island TU (#225), formerly Narragansett TU, for several years now. We previously worked together on informational signage for the Wood River, and recently to help craft a position letter opposing stocking over wild native fish, including on the Wood River.
Special thanks go out to Rhode Island TU chapter president and Massachusetts NFC Advisory Council member Glenn Place for working hard to make this happen.
