“The salmon can now go home. To the people that manage their home.” 🐟 OPB’s Oregon Field Guide team brings you a complex and powerful story of the largest river restoration project — spanning Southern Oregon to Northern California — and how a reconnected river brought salmon home to the tribal communities and the challenges of ecological collapse.

This special episode of Oregon Field Guide is the latest installment in a series of stories about the Klamath Basin that spans multiple years, including a recent story about how the Klamath tribal members have advocated for wetland restoration to preserve a traditional food, the wocus.
