Trout Unlimited: MNWR is one of “Thirty Great American Places”

The Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) is listed as one of Thirty Great American Places according to Trout Unlimited, who complied the list.

“This Massachusetts refuge — a blend of salt marshes, cranberry bogs, Atlantic white cedar swamps, freshwater marshes, rivers and vernal pools – is the result of a unique partnership among nine federal, state and private conservation groups.” Visit Trout Unlimited to learn more about why MNWR is “a rare place to catch and release salters,” the brook trout that thrive on the Quashnet River.

“Fishing the Quashnet isn’t about numbers of fish caught, it’s about an opportunity to fish for a unique native trout that has been restored to its home waters. This opportunity would not exist today if it were not for the tireless work of numerous partners,” said Tim Lynch, President of Cape Cod Trout Unlimited.
