Various projects such as stream bank improvement, storm water monitoring, environmental action, and other hands-on initiatives support the common goal of protecting and preserving our coldwater resources.
From September to May we hold monthly chapter meetings the first Wednesday of the month to discuss new projects, funding, governmental and environmental issues. We are a hard-working, friendly group and would like to extend an invitation to everyone to attend our meetings. We also try to get out for stream improvement work sessions from January thru the summer.
Currently we have approximately 250 chapter members primarily from western Wisconsin and east-central Minnesota. Kiap-TU-Wish is one of 22 chapters that make up the Wisconsin Council of Trout Unlimited. Wisconsin currently boasts over 4,000 members and volunteers. All Wisconsin chapters belong to the national organization, Trout Unlimited.
To protect, reconnect, and restore the coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in Polk, Pierce, and St. Croix Counties of Wisconsin and to insure access to fishable coldwater streams.
Our Unique Name:
