JOIN US LOCALLY!

The New River Chapter is based in the Blacksburg/Pearisburg region and holds a range of fun, free and family-friendly events and activities. Whether you swing by a social event or presentation, spend time on the water fishing with us, or get your hands dirty volunteering on a local project, all are welcome!

SEE OUR IMPACT!

The New River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NRTU) works to improve trout fisheries in the New River Valley region of Virginia. This region contains a richness of beautiful streams and fragile ecosystems that has the potential to support sustainable enjoyment for generations to come. The members of NRVTU recognize the fragile balance that exists between the natural wonders of our coldwater resources and those who spend time near them–both during recreation and in day-to-day life. We believe that truly sustainable solutions exist, both economically and environmentally, that may allow humans to foster the trout fisheries in the New River Valley.

SUPPORT OUR WORK!

Whether you become a member, make a donation, sign up for an event, or volunteer to help the chapter succeed, the New River Chapter counts on people like you who care about conservation to make a difference for our rivers close to home and across the country!

Fishing. Conservation. Community

When you take part in the New River Chapter activities, you are helping drive conservation of Virginia’s rivers and streams. The same rivers that sustain trout bring clean water into our homes, give life to vibrant communities, and feed a passion for the outdoors.

Our rivers and our fisheries face enormous challenges. At Trout Unlimited, we are doing something about it.

Working together as volunteers and with TU staff and partners in our Priority Waters, we advocate for our rivers, restore our stream habitat, plant native trees, help connect kids to the outdoors and so much more.

We are a community of optimists who have a ton of fun along the way. Whether you are passionate about wild and native fish, inspired by the wonder of our rivers, or dedicated to clean water, we invite you to be a part of our mission. Be a champion for the rivers we all love and help us unlock the unlimited power of conservation.
