Our Purpose

Ammonoosuc Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU), New Hampshire Fish & Game (NHFG), Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT), and Plymouth State University (PSU) formed Clean Water/Healthy Trout (CWHT) in 2013.  The goals of CWHT center on the idea that what’s good for brook trout is good for all life. We all need clean water; that means protecting streams. This partnership combines biological research, community outreach, and stream conservation to promote local stewardship of natural resources. Brook trout are an indicator species of stream health; their presence or absence in the Ammonoosuc watershed drives further conservation efforts.
