The fisheries department at Great Smoky Mountains National Park has started a PDF newsletter to communicate what they do in the Smokies. Most of us instantly think about trout and brook trout restoration but their job encompasses even more than that. These are some great folks doing great work. This newsletter does a great job of showing what the work they’ve been doing recently.
This newsletter is really top notch and was put together by seasonal employees who worked in the fisheries department this year. Click on the image of the newsletter to read it.
