This program is a multi-disciplinary applied research and extension collaboration focused on the resilience of brook trout in the Adirondacks, and what we can learn about boreal social-ecological systems from their persistence. Pools of Persistence is a multidisciplinary project in collaboration with Trout Power, Trout Unlimited and Great Camp Sagamore to explore and document the power of citizen science to not only reinforce the resilience of Adirondack brook trout, but to reify the human experience as a part of, not separate from or in conflict with, the rest of Nature.
