Friends:

Most of the TU staff know, but I wanted to pass along to Wyoming grassroots leaders the latest news about Warren Colyer. Warren was recently named by TU to replace Laura Hewitt as Director of TU’s Watershed Program. He and his family have moved to Montana and opened up shop in Missoula. I know we all wish Warren the best on the well-earned promotion and move; TU couldn’t have found a better person for the job.

But I also wanted to pass along a huge thanks to Warren for his work in the tri-state (Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming) area since 2002 and incredible on-the-ground success reconnecting and restoring native Bonneville cutthroat trout (BCT) habitat in the Bear River drainage. As a TU staffer I’ve had the pleasure, and indeed the privilege, of working with Warren on a number of projects over the years. I can’t think of anyone who has had a bigger positive impact on native trout resources so critical to achieving TU’s mission.

And taking off my staff hat for a second and speaking purely as an avid angler known to frequent local hotspots in the Bear River drainage in all three states, I want to personally thank Warren for all he’s done for our local fisheries and for building positive relationships with ranchers, resource agency people, and local community leaders in the rural areas included in his project area. Our fishing is better, native BCT populations are expanding, and TU is considered by many a conservation leader and valued friend and partner in small town Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. It doesn’t get any better than that. Much of this is due to Warren’s great work - and it’s greatly appreciated.

So on behalf of TU members, staff, and fishermen in Wyoming, best of luck in Montana and with the new TU gig, Warren - you’re daily presence in the Bear River drainage will be missed but not forgotten.

FREE THE SNAKE
Help bring down four Snake River dams

Salmon fatten on the bounty of the sea, then return to their birth rivers, where they are the building blocks of forest ecosystems. Rivers are the highways that deliver them home. But the Columbia and Snake River Basin has been transformed by more than 200 dams. For nearly two decades, a growing constituency of fishermen, farmers, business leaders, brave politicians and conservation groups like Save Our Wild Salmon have been backing a modest proposal: Take out four dams on the lower Snake. Just four dams.

“There used to be this huge biomass of chinook salmon in the ocean, produced by all the rivers of the Pacific Coast,” said Ken Balcomb, the director for the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island in Puget Sound. “We’re down to less than ten percent of historic abundance, and climate change will make it worse. But there’s a lot of intact habitat left on the Snake. It’s our best shot. I think any reasonable biologist will tell you to tear out the dams.”

Join our partner Save Our Wild Salmon in urging the Obama Administration to change course and remove the four lower Snake River dams
