California’s Paiute cutthroat trout – the rarest trout in North America – is finally back in its native high Sierra habitat thanks to a collaborative, multiagency effort to reintroduce the fish in Silver King Creek on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
“A project of this magnitude that took several decades could not have been completed without state, federal and other partners working tirelessly together,” said Bill Dunkelberger, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest supervisor.
