What is
Trout Friendly?The Trout Friendly program addresses the impacts that landscape practices can have on our groundwater and the Big Wood River. Trout Friendly’s goal is to protect these limited and valuable resources; clean, healthy water is critical for fish, humans, our community and wildlife. Trout Friendly works to enhance our water quality and quantity and SAVE you money on your water and maintenance bills!
You can protect the Big Wood River:n Be Water-Wise Over-watering depletes our limited water supply and leaves less water in the river and in our aquifer. Over-watered landscapes have shallow root systems and are susceptible to disease, drought and weeds.
n Use Organic Fertilizers, Limit Pesticides and Herbicides Using fertilizers that protect streams, groundwater and trout can reduce the need for herbicides and pesticides. Organic fertilizers, like lawn clippings and compost, promote plant growth and nurture beneficial soil organisms that prevent pests.
n Vegetate Stream Banks and Lawns with Native Plants Native vegetation is water-wise and attracts birds, bees and other pollinators. Native vegetation buffers and plantings reduce your water use and maintenance time. Along streams, planting or maintaining native vegetation keeps water cool for trout.
Partnership to protect our waterIt takes community cooperation to protect one of our greatest resources -the Big Wood River.
That is why local businesses and community organizations have joined together with Wood River Land Trust to spread the word about Trout Friendly.
