STAC Workshop: Blueprint for Building Partnerships and Recommendations for Scaling Brook Trout Restoration in Stronghold and Persistent Patches - Maryland

This meeting is open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, it may be recorded for internal use.

Date and Time

Tuesday, June 3, 2025 (all day)

Purpose

The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) will host two separate one-day workshops for the purpose of strategizing implementation of priority best management practices to successfully recolonize, recover or repatriate brook trout populations. This workshop will convene experts from Chesapeake Bay Program Goal Implementation Teams and Workgroups, conservation organizations, regional coordinators, funding program administrators, and other relevant organizations in Baltimore, Carroll, and Garrett Counties in Maryland (May/June 2025) and Potter and Clearfield Counties in Pennsylvania (May/June 2025). Workshop participants will identify and synthesize the science needed, and local considerations and needs, to develop an actionable large-scale restoration plan to increase brook trout occupancy, abundance and resiliency within and among stronghold and/or persistent patches in priority geographies.

Updates will be posted to the STAC workshop webpage.
