The Klamath River is a regular destination for whitewater adventures but it is much more than a recreational destination. It is a spiritual and cultural center for the many tribes that live along its banks, a dwindling salmon fishery, and an irrigation source for farmers in the area. The Klamath has been called ⤦a degraded system that is uniquely restorable and may soon become the site of one of the largest dam-removal projects in world history. Learn more about this amazing and controversial river as we host speakers and the film Solving the Klamath Crisis.
