The Northern Virginia Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NVATU) brings together community members who enjoy sharing in fishing experiences; participating in conservation activities; educating future generations; and engaging partner organizations to ensure the health of our local streams, rivers and watersheds.

Chris Wood, President & CEO, Trout Unlimited

Please join us as the Northern Virginia Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NVATU) hosts Chris Wood, President & CEO, Trout Unlimited for a short presentation on 10 September starting at 6:30 p.m.

Chris will talk about the Trout Unlimited's Campaign "Every River Needs A Champion" and how a chapter such as NVATU, which does not have a cold water watershed, can best be involved. Additionally, Chris will talk about the successes of the "Priority Waters" effort, and maybe a brief story or two about his local fishing exploits.

Before coming to Trout Unlimited in September 2001, Chris Wood served as the senior policy and communications advisor to the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service where he helped protect 58 million acres of publicly owned land. Chris began his career as a temporary employee with the Forest Service in Idaho and also worked for the Fish and Wildlife program of the Bureau of Land Management. He is the author and co-author of numerous papers, articles, and three books including, Watershed Restoration: Principles and Practices (AFS 1997), From Conquest to Conservation: Our Public Land Legacy (Island Press, 2003), and My Healthy Stream: A handbook for streamside owners (Trout Unlimited and Aldo Leopold Foundation, 2013).
