Topic: Exciting Times for NY’s Wild and Naive Trout

Tracy Brown is Trout Unlimited’s Program Director for New York and Connecticut, leading a team of incredibly passionate individuals on a mission to celebrate and restore habitat for wild & native trout. Tracy works end to end with her team to develop a streamlined approach to restoration design, fundraising, partnership, community engagement and much more. Her passion and optimism are fueled by a love of all flowing waters and the inspiring potential that unified rivers bring to future generations.

Jeremiah Stone joined the team at TU in 2022 with a strong research background, working in multiple laboratories across the United States for four years. While working in these positions, he studied a range of fish species, from Shortnose Sturgeon to Arctic Grayling. Jeremiah quickly translated the skills learned through fisheries sampling methodologies to field work completing habitat and geomorphic surveys with Trout Unlimited. As a Stream Restoration Coordinator, he works directly with project partners and provides field support to our Stream Restoration Specialist, including completing surveys and providing additional construction oversight.
