The new year can be a time of reflection and reawakening. This past year, CTU celebrated it’s 50th anniversary and reflected on the organization’s past accomplishments for Colorado’s rivers and trout. Now, with the new year and start of a new decade, we are looking forward with an eye towards growth. National Trout Unlimited is calling the 2020s a decade of recovery. “Whether its good for our health, our souls, or the rivers and streams we love, let’s make the 2020s a decade of recovery,” wrote Chris Wood, CEO of TU.
At CTU, we recognize that our past and future accomplishments rely on all of you who help us meet our mission to conserve, protect, and restore. In this next year and beyond, we aspire to create a more diverse and collaborative environment that will expand our mission to new audiences and include every stakeholder when it comes to clean water, healthy fisheries and access to public lands. We've been making a difference for trout for over 50 years - but with your help, we are just getting started.
This year, we celebrated 50 years of Colorado Trout Unlimited. That exciting milestone has made this year a memorable one, but now we are looking ahead to the next 50 years and can't wait to bring you all along. What can we look forward to this upcoming 2020? Well, first we will be kicking off the new year at the Fly Fishing Show in Denver - the largest gathering of fly fishing companies, organizations, and more! We hope to see you there, and be sure to stop by the Colorado TU booth!
We are also partnering with the 2020 Fly Fishing Film Tour which will have multiple showings
across the state starting in February. Speaking of films, have you seen ours? You can watch the full CTU film, DECADES: 50 years of Colorado Trout Unlimited for free online here.
Youth programming has grown over 2019 with the help of a great Headwaters Committee and our Americorps VISTA Bianca, who have already been planning new STREAM Girls events for Spring 2020. CTU is getting more youth on the water who are learning about our watersheds.
Volunteers really made 2019 special. With native greenback stockings, river cleanups, youth outreach, events, and advocacy - people like you have helped us make a positive impact on the future of our rivers and coldwater fisheries. For all you have done, we want to say thank you.
We look forward to all the amazing work we can do together in 2020 and beyond! See you all next year :)
Have a safe and happy holiday,
the Colorado TU Team - Annie, Bianca, Dan, David, Jen, and Shannon
