The removal of the four dams on the Klamath River is the largest dam removal project in US history.

The removal allows the region’s iconic salmon population to swim freely along the river.

The Yurok Tribe in Northern California are known as the “salmon people” To them, the salmon are sacred species that are central to their culture, diet and ceremonies.

All four dams produced less than 2% of PacifiCorp ’s energy at full capacity.

Up next is ramping up restoration work.

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation plans to put down nearly 16 billion seeds of almost 100 native species across 2,200-acres of land.
