ARLINGTON, Va. — Trout Unlimited, the nation’s oldest and largest coldwater fisheries conservation organization, awarded a $7,500 Embrace-A-Stream grant to its Sebago Chapter in Waterford, Maine.

The grant will improve four miles of Swett Brook for land-locked salmon populations. Weirs will be constructed to facilitate raised water levels during low water flow conditions, further connecting the Swett Brook to the Crooked River.

“Through the Embrace-A-Stream grant program, TU volunteers are able to carry out our mission to help protect a America’s rivers and streams and introduce kids to fishing and conservation,” said Bryan Moore, TU’s vice president for volunteer operations and watershed programs.
