Brook Trout Good News
The Eastern brook trout, which is the state fish in both New Hampshire and Vermont, is getting some good news. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, (NFWF) has provided a $199,000 grant to help fund 7 dam removal projects that will open 140 miles of cold water tributaries of the Connecticut River. The grant is awarded to the Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRWC) for restoring river habitats for Eastern brook trout.
