Trout Unlimited is the leading conservation organization working to care for and recover rivers and streams and the trout, steelhead and salmon that call them home. We bring people together to care for their rivers and help make our water cleaner and our communities healthier.

The Gary Borger Chapter of Trout Unlimited has over 300 members and supporters in the Lake County area including Deerfield, Highland Park, Arlington Heights, Vernon Hills, Gurnee and other nearby communities.

As a conservation organization, the Gary Borger Chapter:

• Cares for local rivers and streams and trout, steelhead and salmon populations through stream restoration projects, cleanup days, and community science programs  
• Advocates for the protection of rivers and streams locally, as well as in unison with national TU priorities across the country
• Partners with national TU conservation staff, local and state agencies and regional environmental organizations to implement conservation programs, with a focus on work in TU’s Priority Waters 
• Mobilizes the entire community to care for their waters 
• Hosts regular events, social gatherings and local fishing outings that connect people with their rivers and streams 
• Inspires the next generation with environmental education programs
