Trout Unlimited's Conservation Approach  
Protect:  Through land conservation, easements, and by policy and legislative initiatives, protect the still remaining intact cold water rivers and streams. 

Reconnect: Remove unnecessary dams and repair culverts which block fish passage and natural stream drift. Ensure proper fish passage in necessary dams and bottom emptying dams where possible. Provide the ability of fish to migrate throughout the river system as needed. Ensure adequate flows.

Restore:  Fix what is already broken.  Replant riparian zones and eliminate sources of point source, non-point source pollution, erosion and sedimentation.  Repair stream beds that have been altered to replace the normal stream features of riffles, runs and pools.  Remove trash and restore necessary woody debris and clean gravel for spawning. 

Sustain:  Ensure that the above efforts are ongoing through education of the public, government officials, and our youth.  Support all of the efforts above with fundraising.
