Fund Raising

Our conservation/education fund raising plans for the 2012-2013 year call for the chapter to raise funds through direct donations.  As these projects are within our Non Profit Mission your donations will be tax deductible. 

 The Chapter goals and projects are:  

  • Bring in speakers on state wide conservation issues at our monthly meetings
  • Furnish a school with the Trout in Class Room equipment
  • Furnish a sign/kiosk at the Toms River, River Wood Park, Trout Conservation Area, explaining the TCA mission and regulation and other information

As a Trout Unlimited/Jersey Shore Chapter supporter your help is needed.   Just $20 will help meet these goals and fund the projects.   Contribution can be mailed to:  Jersey Shore TU  Attn: Treasure,  PO Box 781, Oakhurst NJ  07755

 As this is a text only e-mail the PayPal donate button will not appear!  But you may use a credit card with our Pay Pal Account by the following link.  Just copy the link below and paste in your browser.

  The Toms River Kiosk Project. 

Goal: Install a KIOSK in River Wood Park on the Toms River to provide information on the special regulations of the Trout Conservation Area and about the trout stocking and fishing in the open fishing section.

 Status:  A kiosk that was built by North Jersey Chapter for the proposed but delayed Flat Brook Trout Conservation Area can be acquired for installation on the Toms River.   Discussions are now in progress with the Tom River Township to have an information Kiosk installed in River Wood Park.  The River Wood Park is managed by the Toms River Township who also has the maintenance responsibilities. 

 As this project will help inform about trout fishing in Ocean County and bring the chapter some good PR with the public that now enjoy walking the trails, you can help (see how to donate above) in raising the funds and also in the planning and installation phase. 

 Clean streams hold healthy Trout and a Fisherman or two

Volunteer

Project Healing Waters
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is a national organization dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings. A very active NJ group works with veterans from the VA hospital in Lyons, NJ, holding fly tying sessions and hosting fishing outings at the Pequest hatchery and other locations, and they could always use more help. Please contact our own JSTU member David Bucko, the NJ State Coordinator for Project Healing Waters, to find out more information about this fine program or to volunteer some of your time and talent.
 
Help Out at the Outdoor Expo and Fishing Derby
The Jersey Shore Chapter of TU will again be hosting a Fishing Derby at the Monmouth County Park Systems annual Outdoor Adventure Expo which will be held this year on May 20, 2012. The Expo runs from 11:00am until 5:00pm, with the Fishing Derby from 12:00-2:00pm. We will need lots of help for the Derby as we often have more than 100 kids participating. Help is also needed to staff the JSTU booth at the Expo. Please consider volunteering for this fun and important outreach event. Contact Jim Ketchersid for more information or to volunteer to help.
