2025 Projects
-
Five Brook Trout conservation projects that EBTJV endorsed for FY25 were awarded a total of $245,000 in NFHP funding. These projects will bring $1.3M in other contributions.
These five projects will remove eight barriers to fish passage—including one dam and seven culverts—reconnect over 21 miles of priority brook trout streams, and restore nine acres of riparian habitat. Two projects will reintroduce brook trout populations in areas where they were previously lost. One project was supported in partnership with our neighboring FHP, the Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP), demonstrating the connection between headwaters and coastal ecosystems. Congratulations to the South Carolina DNR, Trout Unlimited, Squat-A-Tissit Chapter of TU, and Somerset Conservation District.

EBTJV Habitat News May 2025

The EBTJV is excited to welcome the Tennessee Aquarium as our newest MOU member, bringing us to 39
MOU partners. We share an interview with Stephanie Chance about the Conservation Institute’s response to a
2024 drought event, their recovery efforts for Laurel Dace and Brook Trout, and more.
Here for the research links? In addition to news clips, we’ve compiled a (definitely not exhaustive) list of
publications through mid-2024 related to Brook Trout population dynamics and distribution, genetics and
hatchery influence, ecological interactions, and pollution and environmental impacts.
Speaking of research, please join us in congratulating Vermont’s Jud Kratzer for his recent award on behalf of Vermont FWD for research on wood additions to northern VT streams. Every time we speak to Jud we learn a little more about this technique and its benefits to not just Brook Trout, but also fluvial function and ecosystem health. VFWD’s recent work, in partnership with TU, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Weyerhaeuser Corporation, demonstrated how wood addition traps sediment and reduces sediment and nutrient loads
downstream.
