New wetlands funding in the wake of the Klamath dam removal

In the largest dam removal project in U.S. history, four dams along the Klamath River were removed — two in Oregon, two in California. Salmon are swimming up and down the river once again, and it’s a wonderful thing.

But there’s plenty more to do.

Thus, we’re pleased to see the Dept. of Interior  announce $46 million in new funding for wetlands restoration and other conservation work in the area. The project list includes wetlands in the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, as well as other projects in or near Lake Ewauna, Link River, Tule Lake, Scott River and upper Williamson River.
