The Maryland Chapter of Trout Unlimited is a volunteer-led grassroots organization dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in the greater Baltimore area. The private company is based in Towson, MD. The chapter focuses on science-based conservation, legal advocacy, education, and community engagement to sustain healthy trout habitats. Key initiatives include the "Trout in the Classroom" program, which provides educational resources and teacher support to promote trout conservation awareness. The chapter participates in conservation projects such as the Upper Gunpowder Watershed Brook Trout Conservation Partnership and the restoration of Jones Falls. It organizes regular events to foster community involvement and offers resources for local anglers, encouraging public support through donations and volunteer opportunities.
