In 2011, the EAS funded 25 projects in 15 states, with an average grant award of $5,000. View the list of projects funded by EAS last year.

Trout Unlimited is pleased to announce that it is now accepting Embrace-A-Stream (EAS) grant applications for eligible coldwater fisheries conservation projects. Chapters and councils are asked to submit proposals for conservation projects that best address the needs of native and wild trout following TU's protect, reconnect, restore and sustain conservation model.
