On Thursday, Feb 13th, HTU member, John Montefusco will talk and show a film about “Trout Power”. Their citizen science efforts seek to identify, map, monitor and advocate for protection of wild and genetically unique brook trout populations in the Adirondacks and wherever they are found throughout New York. Trout Power works closely with the NYS DEC and is currently working on a Presence/ Non-Presence survey in the Silver Lake Wilderness Area. This information coupled with strong project management and collaborative efforts with the State is helping to alter and change trout management policy in New York State. John will discuss a few of the ongoing projects including Silver lake, Sagamore, Oswagatchie, etc..
