Photo taken September 1, 2019, looking down onto the #KlamathRiver from the edge of Highway 96, #SiskiyouCounty, #NorthernCalifornia. This is just below my hometown and when I was younger, I spent many hours fishing and playing around this river. #mountains #photography #nature #rivers
Oregon On The Record talked with Jessie Sears of OPB about her documentary First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath, about indigenous teens historically paddling the river after the dam removals.

Three Chinook salmon swim close to the camera, underwater vegetation brushing their undersides. A logo for The Revelator newsletter hangs in the upper-right corner of the picture.
In the wake of dam removal on the #KlamathRiver in the #PacificNorthwest, conservation crews have helped plant and seed thousands of native trees and other vegetation.
#Salmon have responded in kind!

It features numerous logs scattered across what appears to be a river or large body of water, indicative of a log drive operation where floating wood is transported downstream from tree-cutting sites upstream. The logs vary in size and are either stacked neatly on land or partially submerged in the water.
A worker can be seen standing among the logs, likely involved in managing or inspecting them as part of their job responsibilities within this industry setting. In contrast to the workers' activity, another individual is observed working with a large piece of equipment that appears designed for handling and moving timber.

Last summer, 17-year-old Keeya Wiki kayaked 310 miles of the undammed #KlamathRiver. She was one of 28 Indigenous teens who paddled the river after four dams were removed in 2024.

A monumental journey complete! For the first time in generations, wild salmon are once again swimming in the upper Klamath River after historic dam removals. 🌊🐟 #KlamathRiver #SalmonReturn #EcosystemRestoration
How absolutely marvelous, Duncan. I live in Humboldt County, California, where restoration of the #KlamathRiver is ongoing and the results are astounding. Fish are swimming hundreds of miles up into tributaries where they haven’t been in over 100 years. Beautiful 🤩
The dams came down… and the salmon came back. 🐟💧
In a slightly late Pelecanus News episode, we explore the return of Salmon back into the Klamath River, among many other uplifting environmental headlines!
