‘OPB Politics Now’: Is the Pacific Northwest entering an era of dam removal?

Tribal project aims to restore 300 miles of waterway across the region

Will the restoration of Klamath River runs help restore California’s struggling salmon fishing industry?

The money will be used for an aging dam on the Illinois River in southern Oregon and updating infrastructure to improve fish migration on the Wallowa River in the northeast of the state.

From birds to frogs, from bugs to plants, dozens of volunteers gathered in Milwaukie over the weekend to count as many different species they can find, two years ahead of the planned removal of the 166-year-old Kellogg Dam.

We hear the perspective of tribes living along the Klamath River: what the country’s largest dam removal project means to them and their hopes for the future.
