Welcome to Challenge Chapter Trout Unlimited

The Challenge Chapter of Trout Unlimited is a non-profit, fund raising organization whose mission is to engage in stream and watershed restoration efforts at the grass roots level. We support the State and National TU organizations in their educational and legislative activities. Our restoration efforts are focused on both distant waters, such as the AuSable River, and local waters, like the Paint Creek. These critical resources continue to recover and thrive with our love and care.

As our season unfolds, come join us at one of our chapter meetings. Some meetings are held at the E.L. Johnson Center @ 3325 Franklin Rd, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302.

A history of the chapter has been prepared and can be accessed here: http://www.challengechapter.org/images/Chapter_History/Challenge.pdf
