The North Bear Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Caring for and recovering the Rivers and Streams of Iowa that Trout call Home

SEE OUR IMPACT!

The North Bear Chapter of Trout Unlimited brings people together to care for and recover their waters through local conservation and community science projects. We are making our trout populations stronger, our water cleaner, and our communities healthier.

JOIN US LOCALLY!

The North Bear Chapter is based here in Iowa and holds a range of fun, free and family-friendly events and activities. Whether you swing by a social event or presentation, spend time on the water fishing with us, or get your hands dirty volunteering on a local project, all are welcome!

SUPPORT OUR WORK!

Whether you become a member, make a donation, sign up for an event, or volunteer to help the chapter succeed, the North Bear Chapter counts on people like you who care about conservation to make a difference for our rivers close to home and across the country!

Our next Spring Advocacy Chapter Event will be this coming Wednesday, March 11th at 6:30 pm.  Note the date change to Wednesday.  This will be an online Event (Zoom – the F3T committee needs a break!).  The March event topic will be “Train the trainer: How volunteers can bolster the Trout Unlimited mission”, led by our TU National Engagement Coordinator, Cameron Aker.  Please join us to learn more about the updated TU National messaging!

‘The Trout Unlimited (TU) message has been updated for 2026, and Cameron will be covering messaging, branding, and other topics related to outreach, partnerships, and events in this virtual session. This presentation is geared towards volunteers who want to help spread the TU message and be the face of TU at workdays, legislative outreach, and other public facing events. This event will be recorded, and a second session is being planned for the future.’

A LOCAL COMMUNITY OF CONSERVATIONISTS!

When you take part in Trout Unlimited North Bear Chapter activities, you are helping drive conservation of IOWA’s rivers and streams. The same rivers that sustain trout, bring clean water into our homes, give life to vibrant communities, and feed a passion for the outdoors.

Our rivers and our fisheries face enormous challenges. At Trout Unlimited, we are doing something about it.

Working together as volunteers and with TU staff and partners in our Priority Waters, we advocate for our rivers, restore our stream habitat, plant native trees, help connect kids to the outdoors and so much more.

We are a community of optimists who have a ton of fun along the way. Whether you are passionate about wild and native fish, inspired by the wonder of our rivers, or dedicated to clean water, we invite you to be a part of our mission. Be a champion for the rivers we all love and help us unlock the unlimited power of conservation.
