The Trout Trust (TTT) is fully funded through memberships and does not receive Provincial or Federal funding, and has full lobbying powers.  Without the fine work of Trout Unlimited over the past 20 years, we would not have any data to validate the need to address entrainment. Despite the efforts of TU, entrainment has not been addressed. The Trout Trust hopes to build cooperatively on the foundational work of TU to effect change through unfettered advocacy in the event entrainment is placed on the back burner again. Unlike Trout Unlimited, organizing ‘on-the-ground’ conservation projects is not part of our mandate currently.
