Alauna Grant gathers native sunflower seeds alongside the Iron Gate Dam reservoir, Sept. 6, 2023. Workers with local tribes are cutting down weeds and collecting native seeds to replant the land exposed following the removal of the dam.

Long before the four dams along the Klamath River were removed, the habitat restoration process began. RES, a company that specializes in ecological restoration, has been involved in the process since 2019.
It’s charged with working on habitat restoration and will continue to maintain the project for about five years. We check in on the effort with Dave Coffman, the director of Northern California and Southern Oregon for RES.
