Typical Chapter Meeting Schedule
Come for dinner from 5:30-7, general pub style menu and a good opportunity to shoot the breeze and meet some people.
Chapter announcements/business follow from 7-7:30pm
Our speaker/presentation is from 7:30-8:30.
The range of presentation topics is wide and we have had some real notables, from local fishing, to the environment, to fly tying, to travelogues of exotic (and sometimes not-so-exotic) trips. The latest newsletter has details on the upcoming meeting topic.
Peter Jonas, the newest member of TU DARE’s staff, will speak at our Tuesday, April 9, meeting to let us know what DARE is up to and how we can help.
DARE stands for Drifltess Area Restoration Effort – a vital initiative we can all get behind!
Peter is a former member of SWTU. He moved to the northern part of the Driftless and was a big part of TU chapters’ and DARE’s work to secure access to and improve trout streams in that area.
DARE has ambitious plans to restore trout streams, improve connectivity and better maintain easements. Peter recently hosted a conversation on stream restoration in Buffalo County, which you can view here on YouTube. TU DARE also hosted a two-day virtual symposium and you can select from a playlist of trouty topics.
