The LRCTU Board of Directors approved a $10,000 donation to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) Fisheries Department. Over $9,000 of this donation is proceeds from the LRCTU Auction and the remaining amount is from monetary contributions from members and the Chapter’s general fund. Thanks to everyone for supporting the auction and generously volunteering for a variety of Chapter projects.
The annual GSMNP Fisheries Department Volunteer’s meeting will be held at Twin Creeks Science Center on February 17 at 9:00 a.m. Matt Kulp, GSMNP Supervisory Fisheries Biologist, will summarize the results of last year’s projects and discuss volunteer opportunities with the Fisheries Department in the coming year. Volunteer opportunities will include water sampling in support of acid deposition studies, index of biotic integrity stream surveys, brook trout restoration and monitoring, and stream barrier surveys supporting aquatic organism passage studies. At the conclusion of this meeting, the Chapter will present the $10,000 donation from the Little River Chapter to the GSMNP Fisheries Department.
