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.
Batavia Kill Reconnection Project for Brook Trout, Delaware County, New York
The Batavia Kill project will include the replacement of three culverts that will reconnect over 4 miles of high-quality headwater habitat for Brook Trout. Location chosen as the highest priority site for potential culvert replacement project as part of TU’s East Branch Delaware River Trout Habitat Improvement Project.
