The Foundation supports operations at the U. S. Fish and Wildlife's Berkshire National Fish Hatchery in New Marlborough, MA which would otherwise not be possible. Members of the Foundation donate countless hours every year helping produce Atlantic salmon for research, lake trout for the lower Great Lakes and brook/rainbow trout for recreational and educational programs. The Foundation also assists maintaining the hatchery, holds monthly fishing derbies and educational programs. Fish are raised for restoration, education, and for recreational programs.
