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.
