Much appreciation for our friends at Sustainable Northwest and the leadership of the Klamath Tribes. Program Officers Huy Ong and Stone Hudson had the opportunity to witness the lower Klamath River dam removal and restoration progress. Along the field tour, they also visited the site of a traditional burn — one of the first of its kind in over 70 years. These types of restorative land practices honor Indigenous wisdom and strengthen the path toward a just transition.
