Australian Trout Foundation ATF Online
Projects

The Australian Trout Foundation actively seeks to identify and act on projects that will enhance our trout fishery, improve public image and awareness of trout and to protect and conserve the fishery and its environment.
 

We are open to suggestions for worthwhile projects to enhance our fishery and can apply for grants to fund them. As a guideline to what fits the ATF criteria, we are particularly interested in habitat rehabilitation, conservation, education and fishing access projects but other ideas may also be welcome.
(Please note that fish stocking is dealt with through

Vic Fish Stock and should be addressed to the ATF's Stocking Co-ordinator.)

You can email our Projects Officer (info@atfonline.com.au) with your project suggestion and our committee will evaluate the benefits and suitability prior to deciding if it should proceed.
