The New Jersey State Council Trout Unlimited
The Council is made up of leadership from 9 individual TU Chapters that are situated throughout the Garden State. In order for TU to speak as 'One Voice' in New Jersey, leaders from each Chapter meet quarterly and discuss how to best achieve Trout Unlimited's National, State, and Local mission and vision. The majority of the activity and impact on conservation efforts are made at the Chapter level. Council encourages and promotes Inter-Chapter Collaboration and Support.
State TU Councils are the key link between the National TU staff and State TU Chapters and play a critical role in advocating Trout Unlimited's mission and vision at the state level.
TU Mission
To bring together diverse interests to care for and recover rivers and streams so our children can experience the joy of wild and native trout and salmon.
TU Vision
For communities across America to engage in the work of repairing and renewing the rivers, streams and other waters on which we all depend.
