Making western Wisconsin’s coldwater streams

Kiap-TU-Wish advocates conserving Wisconsin’s habitat
for wild trout, such as brook and brown trout.

Protect.

populations of Wisconsin’s wild brook and brown trout.

Restore.

Kiap-TU-Wish uses a number of different approaches
to improve stream flows and trout habitat.
