Brook trout in western NC face steep range loss and decline
Conservation crews in Pisgah National Forest work to restore North Carolina's native brook trout in Yellowstone Prong. Biologists warn the species may have lost 70 to 85 percent of its historic range, retreating to high elevation headwaters as they partner with USFS, NPS, Trout Unlimited and tribal and joint ventures to sustain populations and highlight ecological and economic value.
