Tribal persistence brings down the first of four dams on the Klamath River

AND THEY ALL COME TUMBLING DOWN, to quote Humpty Dumpty. The first of four dams on the Klamath, Copco II teardown began in late June. (courtesy KRRC. Photo copyright Swiftwater Productions)

By the end of next year, all four dams of the Lower Klamath Project will be completely removed. Salmon and steelhead will once again be able to reach nearly 400 miles of historic spawning and rearing habitat in this remarkable watershed. In the late summer of 2025, we could see the first waves of returning salmon. Read the rest of this remarkable environmental success story from Trout Unlimited’s Sam Davidson >>HERE.
