Trout Unlimited is the leading conservation organization working to care for and recover rivers and streams and the trout that call them home. We bring people together to care for their rivers and help make our water cleaner and our communities healthier.

The Hiwassee Chapter of Trout Unlimited has over 100 members and supporters in the Reliance, Cleveland, Polk County and other nearby communities.

As a conservation organization, the Hiwassee Chapter:

• Cares for local rivers and streams and trout populations through stream restoration projects, cleanup days, and community science programs  
• Advocates for the protection of rivers and streams locally, as well as in unison with national TU priorities across the country
• Partners with national TU conservation staff, local and state agencies and regional environmental organizations to implement conservation programs, with a focus on work in TU’s Priority Waters 
• Mobilizes the entire community to care for their waters 
• Hosts regular events, social gatherings and local fishing outings that connect people with their rivers and streams 
• Inspires the next generation with environmental education programs
