Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

Help support new legal protections for #Instream flows and #NativeFish in the middle #WillametteRiver basin. Approval falls to the #OWRD so it's important for those of us who love #Oregon #Rivers weigh in with our support — and we've made it easy to do so. tinyurl.com/6pjru8t9
