Since 1987, we have been actively involved in conservation, protection and restoration of cold water fisheries and their watersheds. Through building meaningful relationships, we strive to create real transformation. Are you ready to be a part of something bigger?
Water is Life
Conserve
Our capacity building program is a key focus area at Stanley Cooper Chapter Trout Unlimited, where we aim to bring about real and positive change to the environment and its waterways of our cold water fisheries. It has been a source of great success for our Non-Profit Organization.
Protect
Our educational programs, general monthly meetings, fly fishing camps and fly tying classes are a wonderful service to the conservation community in Northeast Pennsylvania. Join us in lending a helping hand and making a difference today in our conservation leaders for tomorrow.
Restore
As an environmental leader, Stanley Cooper Chapter Trout Unlimited prioritizes diverse interests to care for and recover streams and habitat in our watershed so our children can experience the joy and beauty of wild and native trout. Join us in shaping a brighter future.
