Nominate your favorite local watershed as a TU project.
Wyoming TU has launched the Home Water's Initiative Program. The Initiative is intended to help
restore watersheds or sections of watersheds within Wyoming to proper functioning condition and to
encourage community involvement, interest in the outdoors, and conservation of natural resources.
To nominate a watershed; local communities, individuals, organizations, students, and anyone else
interested throughout Wyoming will be encouraged to join with their local TU chapter for this program.
The application process consists of questions aimed at determining the conservation need within the
watershed, the recreational use of the watershed, the current land management practices within the
watershed, and the importance of the watershed to the community. Supplementary items are strongly
encouraged, such as letters of support from local groups, local artwork or photographs illustrating the
watershed, and personal stories about the watershed. The watershed selected for the program will be
studied for restoration opportunities and restoration work will begin. Restoration opportunities may
include, but are not limited to, fish screens, fish passage, and habitat improvement. The Wyoming
Council of Trout Unlimited has dedicated $10,000 to fund these initial efforts. The Council will continue
to support the project by aiding in future fundraising opportunities. All applications are due to the
Wyoming Trout Unlimited Conservation Committee by September 7, 2009.
If you have a water you would like to nominate please contact Pat Shellady at PRS

assistance with the application process.
