Current Partners

Partnership is the key ingredient to success of the Western Native Trout Initiative. Partners work together to become one voice for the future of western native trout. Partners give local, regional, or national support, either through time, money or staff time. Because the Initiative is a long-term effort and includes many agencies, organizations, and individuals with different fields of expertise, each partner is a vital contributor in conserving WNTI’s 21 different focal species of western native trout and char species.

What do partners do?

Partners are responsible for creating assessments about each species, protecting species strongholds, and conducting surveys to identify undiscovered populations of native trout. They also monitor populations, synthesize and analyze genetic data to assess population trends, and secure and enhance watershed conditions. Furthermore, partners also secure funding for projects, legislative work, and provide outreach and education on a regional and local level.
