Water is Life

Conserve

Our Coldwater Conservation Program is a key focus area, designed to create lasting, positive change for the environment and the cold water fisheries we protect. This program has been a cornerstone of success for our nonprofit organization.

Protect

Through our educational events, fly fishing camps, fly tying classes and youth sponsorships, we provide meaningful opportunities that strengthen the conservation community in Northeast Pennsylvania. Join us in shaping the next generation of conservation leaders.

Restore

As an environmental leader, the Stanley Cooper Chapter of Trout Unlimited works to protect and restore streams and habitats throughout our watershed, ensuring our children can experience the joy and beauty of wild and native trout. Join us in shaping a brighter future.
