U.S. officials have announced a five-year, $40 million agreement with the conservation group Trout Unlimited to improve watersheds on national forests and grasslands containing key habitat for trout and salmon. The U.S. Forest Service said Wednesday the agreement includes cleaning up abandoned mines, removing barriers to fish passage and other stream habitat improvements. The agency said the money comes from the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed by President Joe Biden last year. The agency says that more than 40% of trout streams in the U.S. flow through nearly 200 million acres of national forests and grasslands.
