Massanutten Chapter
Massanutten Trout Unlimited (MTU) of just under 200 members is based in the city of Harrisonburg, VA, and Rockingham County, VA. MTU is a diverse group of men and women whose mission is to conserve, protect and restore cold-water fisheries and their watersheds. The chapter fulfills its mission with many programs that focus on the Trout Unlimited mission of cold-water conservation and community outreach programs. They include:
- Embrace-A-Stream projects on Beaver Creek, located in western Rockingham County, for improvements to trout habitat.
- Local stream cleanup days.
- Trout in the Classroom (TIC) education program to help young students get a chance to connect to our local streams to learn how to become stewards of the environment.
- Working with Disabled Vets by teaching them how to flyfish and relax through our annual Beaver Creek Invitational (BCI) flyfishing event.
- Fun events include the F3T film festival fundraiser and the Iron Fly Tying contest.
- Hosting a dinner for local landowners participating and supporting the local cold water protection and restoration efforts.
