We love this brief but informative video.

Dr. Rob Lusardi, a conservation biologist at the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences, showed how reconnecting the Klamath watershed could increase the odds of survival for salmonids while benefitting the entire Klamath river community. We’ve come a long way in seeing a reconnected watershed even since Dr. Lusardi first recorded his video last year. ... See more

One of the challenges facing the Klamath River is that it is just so incredibly beautiful. You can follow it for hundreds of miles, stopping in awe at vista after vista, making it hard to imagine that the scenic Klamath is one of the most impaired rivers in the nation. But the river has been marred for decades by dams built without fish ladders, reservoirs that warm seasonally and foster massive blooms of toxic blue-green algae, and a river bottom that in places is covered with polychaete worm colonies so thick that they look like shag carpet. Dam removal will eliminate or substantially decrease these dire conditions. ... See more

Creating roads robust enough to handle trucks featuring wheels taller than the drivers is no small task. Listen to Jim Fitzgerald discuss preparations to improve access roads to Copco Dams 1 and 2.

We are pleased to announce a novel opportunity to augment the work of KRRC through a car donation program. Two Rotary Clubs in the Bay Area are keenly interested in restoring the Klamath River and have partnered with KRRC in a program called “Cars 2nd Chance.” You can donate vehicles – including motor homes – running or not. In return, you are eligible for a tax deduction based on the amount received for your donated vehicle. 50% of the net proceeds will go to KRRC, and 50% will go to Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary and Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary for their other charitable efforts. The vehicle will be picked up at no cost to you. To learn more, please visit: cars2ndchance.com/klamath-river-renewal-corporation/

We are pleased to have friends partner with us to accomplish our mission to renew the Klamath River! While the KRRC project itself is fully funded, our funding is allocated specifically for dam removal and landscape restoration. But we are supportive of other initiatives that will enhance public use and enjoyment of the river, such as building recreation amenities like improved boat launches, parking and trails. Your generous donation could also provide important seed money for advancing special initiatives such as a feasibility study on economic opportunities in the Klamath Basin in connection with dam removal, recreation planning, and science and education. A modest amount will be used to offset administrative expenses. ... See more

Cars2ndChance pledges to quickly pick up your vehicle and maximize your donation to KRRC. Your vehicle’s net sales proceeds will be shared 50-50 between KRRC and the two SF Bay Area Rotary clubs that administer the Cars2ndChance program. Please fill in each field completely. The form is secure, an... ... See more

The Yurok people have used Redwood canoes for thousands of years to fish, hunt and travel from village to village. Canoes were used in both the Klamath River and – brace yourself for a bravery alert -- the ocean. We think taking a river tour in a redwood canoe, guided by a tribal member, would be an amazing way to learn about the river and the Yurok culture. We certainly plan to take a tour someday, especially since they will stick to the serenity of the river! Stay tuned. ... See more

Imagine coming across a fish longer than you are tall. Weighing more than 300 pounds. In the Klamath River. Read more on the Reconnect Klamath blog.

Your first encounter with a full-grown green sturgeon can be a little scary. These behemoths can grow to over 7 feet long, weighing as much as 350 pounds. Their whiskered face and armored back plates no doubt inspired the leviathans found in H.P. Lovecraft’s stories or a recent session of your kid... ... See more

The Family Water Alliance newsletter recently featured an article that underscores how Klamath dam removal is a win for both agriculture and the environment in Northern California and Southern Oregon.

Did you know that the Karuk Tribe is one of the largest tribes in California? Karuk people have lived for thousands of years in what is now the northwestern corner of California, in Humboldt and Siskiyou Counties. The federal government has officially “recognized” the Tribe. This means that there is a “government-to-government” relationship with the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, “federally recognized tribes are recognized as possessing certain inherent rights of self-government (i.e., tribal sovereignty) and are entitled to receive certain federal benefits, services, and protections because of their special relationship with the United States.”

The Karuk Tribe is a signatory to the amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA), which created the KRRC. Clearly, the Karuk Tribe is a key leader in the effort to remove the Klamath Dams. But decades before the creation of the KHSA or KRRC, the Karuk Tribe was working tirelessly to restore the Klamath River to a free-flowing condition so that salmon numbers would rebound. KRRC is keenly aware of, and deeply grateful for, the tireless effort the Karuk Tribe continues to put into the dam removal effort. We would not be where we are without them. ... See more
