Rivers of Restoration: Trout Unlimited's First 50 Years of Conservation
A beautiful tribute to twenty rivers restored by the work of Trout Unlimited and its members. We
all love rivers and the trout that the best of them hold. For fifty
years, the volunteers of Trout Unlimited have strived to restore,
sustain, and preserve the nation's trout and salmon waters. Weaving
together human and natural histories, Ross tells the stories of twenty
watersheds where Trout Unlimited has labored to save rivers damaged by
human shortsightedness. From Michigan's Au Sable to New York's Delaware
to rivers in California, Washington, and more, the stories of these
rivers—both in peril and in recovery—will remind fishermen why they love
the sound of running water, and why our natural resources need to be
protected. 200 color photographs.About the Author
