For the first time in a century, the Klamath River is running free, no longer held back by dams. It’s a rare victory for ecosystems, salmon populations, and Indigenous communities who fought for generations. What does this restoration story make you think about humanity’s relationship with rivers? | Awesome Stuff 365 - Outdoors

A Field Guide crew was at the headwaters of the Klamath River in Southern Oregon this week for the beginning of a 300-mile journey that will take this group of Indigenous youth from the source of the river to the sea, past four former dam sites and through class 4 whitewater. It’s the first source-to-sea descent since the country’s largest dam removal project was completed on the Klamath River last fall. #oregonfieldguide #OPB #riostorivers #klamathriver #damremoval | Oregon Field Guide
