Sharing from CBF: How restoring West Virginia's native brook trout also restores water quality, and the critical partnerships making this important work happen

Brook Trout work in West Virginia helps the Chesapeake Bay

Sharing a story from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Check it out and the video with footage of WVDNR's Brandon Keplinger!

"Bringing brook trout back to their native waters in eastern West Virginia isn’t just a job for Brandon Keplinger. It’s a mission.

Like many West Virginians, Keplinger feels a personal connection to the only trout species native to his home state. As a district fisheries biologist with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, he is dedicated to rebuilding brook trout populations in the Eastern Panhandle where they once thrived."
