Reviving the Bear

A new film by Trout Unlimited, “Reviving the Bear,” tells the story of the decades of work by Trout Unlimited, the Western Native Trout Initiative, federal agencies and local partners in the Bear River watershed to help this unique native trout species recover, an effort undertaken while working closely with ranching communities on the river to ensure reliable-and often easier-access to the healthy water they need to thrive.

after watching this video, I realize that the soqualmie river is incredibly blessed as we have plentiful coastal cutthroat, rainbow, steel head, and the rare bull trout or, even rarer, Dolly Varden. keep up the great work

Excellent work and film. I especially like how you've found a win-win with the local farmers. For special few people triggered by a brief global warming mention, that topic is unavoidable when talking scientifically about Bonneville Cutthroat Trout. They are the original offspring of climate change. They evolved during the last ice age in Lake Bonneville (now the Great Salt Lake), survived a massive shift to hotter and drier weather by migrating into the previously iced over, now flowing river canyons. Their MO is to migrate and find the sweet spot. Fish tagging studies suggest that instinctual behavior continues today, as Utah has seen some massive weather swings since 2000. Above all please remember, TU is NOT trying to re-engineer the climate or guilt you into buying a cyber truck. They're building common sense mechanical fixes to century old irrigation diversions to allow BCT's to do what they've been doing for millennia: migrate, adapt, thrive despite climate shifts.

Proud of you guys. Great 👍

Your work has not been forgotten.

Great film. Thank you trout unlimited for everything you do

Well done TU!!! Keep up the fantastic work. Lots of friends in this vid!

[@nonewherelistens1906]

Well done. Looks to be top-notch restoration work. Working with private landowners can be a special challenge.

Thanks TU!

Nice work! Proud of the work our Bear River team is doing.

Truly amazing work for the entire watershed! Thank you.

Well done TU

Please come start some projects in California. We are struggling to fight dams and the dumping of water. Pure evil

Let's hope the Utah Legislature puts an end to the Bear River Project.

I was loving this until a person brought up “in an era of climate change”, why? Why not just take the win and stay out of politics.

[@JeremyReger]

Climate change isn’t political.. it’s a fact.. lol only deniers made it political

[@ttenrabdn]

How is addressing the reality of your climate while discussing ecological issues political? There's no politics, it's all science, verifiable, factual, and absolutely part of ecological studies and practices. 😂

@@ttenrabdn I have had my comment deleted twice for having the same opinion.. lol interested to see if its just me.. haha🤜🤛

[@NathanSeibt]

Climate change is a scientific reality that requires political solutions (if our goal is to reduce suffering). The loss of trout habitat and populations is a scientific reality that requires political solutions (if our goal is to reduce suffering). What’s *not* political here?

I am tired of hearing Global Warming since we should be concentrating on Global Cooling. The Eastern United States has actual been cooling over the past 50 years because of reforestation. The Western United States could also be cooling if the reforestation was taking place with native riparian zone trees along the Western United States' streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. The native riparian zone trees also provide up to 80% of the food chain for the aquatic inhabitants in the streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs in all four seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Transpiration (water vapor) from the native riparian zone tree's leaves helps to cool the atmosphere in the western valleys. Plant some native riparian zone trees and preach and practice Global Cooling.

this whole video and thats what triggered you.. lol

I live in the eastern US. And the past 10 years here has been warmer than ever. Only had 1 decent snowfall this past year.

[@flyguy2021]

You might be confusing localized cooling with Global climate change.

[@davidstakston1950]

@@JeremyReger Fish passage and proper irrigation are problems that needed to be addressed. But Trout Unlimited and the Departments of Natural Resources in every state in the United States are completely ignorant when it comes to the food chain for big trout for all the different species of trout.

Do your research before supporting a group like this? I used to think that these guys were good until I learned about all of the bad things that they support, including anti-hatchery regiment.
