How to Subscribe to the Collegiate Peaks Chapter of Trout Unlimited Newsletter
Updated
The Collegiate Peaks Chapter of Trout Unlimited publishes a monthly newsletter, and you can subscribe through the chapter's website at collegiatepeakstu.org. The site links to a dedicated subscribe page, and the chapter also maintains a newsletter archive you can read before deciding whether to sign up. This applies to anyone who wants chapter updates, event notices, and conservation news from the upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado.
What the newsletter covers
Based on the chapter's own description of its work, the monthly newsletter is where you can expect to find:
- Chapter updates and recaps of recent work
- Announcements of coming events, including board meetings and the annual elections and year-in-review meeting
- Conservation and habitat restoration project news
- Information on programs such as fly fishing classes, the middle school "Stream Explorers" enrichment program, the FlyGals women's group, and youth fishing derbies
- Ways to support the chapter, including donations and community rewards programs
The chapter has over 300 members and reports that volunteers contribute more than 3,000 hours per year, so the newsletter is the main channel for keeping up with that activity.
How to subscribe
- Go to the chapter website at collegiatepeakstu.org.
- Find the subscribe link. The site presents it as "Sign up for our newsletter" and "subscribe to it here," pointing to a subscribe page on the site.
- Open the subscribe page and provide the requested contact information.
- Submit the form to be added to the monthly distribution.
The exact fields on the subscribe form are not described in the available site material, so treat the steps above as the general path rather than a field-by-field walkthrough.
Read before you subscribe
If you want to see what the newsletter looks like first, the chapter maintains a newsletter archive on the site. Reading a few back issues is a reasonable way to confirm the content matches your interests before handing over your email address.
Other ways to stay current
The newsletter is not the only channel the chapter uses:
| Channel | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Monthly newsletter | Chapter updates, events, and program news |
| Newsletter archive | Past issues, readable without subscribing |
| Events calendar | A complete list of events, including all meetings |
| Board meeting recordings | Zoom recordings posted as "Latest updates" |
The calendar is described as the place to find a complete list of events, including all meetings, so it complements the newsletter if you mainly care about dates.
Supporting the chapter
If you want to go beyond subscribing, the site notes two options: a straight donation processed through PayPal, and City Market Community Rewards, which donates to the chapter when you shop at Kroger stores after you sign up. The chapter also lists sponsors and provides up to $12,000 annually for scholarships.
