The Klamath River has been named 2024 “River of the Year” by American Rivers, River Champion’s also named include Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.
I just wish American Rivers had mentioned Ronnie Pierce who is the pivotal person who got dam removal going and positioned Troy and Leaf to, with an assist from the direct action folks and others, get the job done.
I also hope that American Rivers and others don’t declare victory and move on. The Klamath is not fixed; water quality and inadequate flows remain major impediments to healthy river ecosystems supporting healthy fisheries.

Amen …
Breaching of the dams has been a major wildlife fiasco! I can’t see any good coming out of it and there has been so much wildlife death. it is tragic!
