Since 1991, Anglers has sponsored writing contests at local high schools. The contest started small, at one school, Grayling High School. Since, the context has expanded to other schools in the region. Winners are printed in the Anglers’ print newsletter, The Riverwatcher.

Anglers has sponsored a number of college interns to collect important river information, providing us with useful data while giving students valuable hands-on experience. They have investigated soil erosion at stream crossings of the Au Sable, collected canoeing impact data, conducted water turbidity studies and more.

Each year, Anglers’ provides a scholarship to a youth to attend the annual Trout Unlimited kids camp, helping create future anglers.
