Across Washington, the dedicated volunteers of Trout Unlimited’s Barrier Assessment Team (BAT) have identified and cataloged hundreds of culverts blocking fish passage and impeding watershed health.
The rigorous data gathered by these teams provides state and federal agencies with critical information needed to prioritize where restoration projects would provide the most benefit to Washington’s native fish populations and cold, clean water resources.
Their partnership with the United States Forest Service has already led to key culverts being replaced in the White River watershed and helped launch a landscape-scale restoration effort focused on protecting Spring Chinook, wild steelhead and other native fish in South Puget Sound.
Clearing the Way, a new video from our friend Liam O. Gallagher celebrates these inspiring grassroots leaders.
