The Klamath River: Rebirth and Restoration

Here is a mock up of a brochure touting the Yurok Tribe's involvement in the revegetation around the dams:   This is all based on an interview I did where I sat down with Josh Chenoweth and chatted for a good hour on the the awesome work they're doing. Below is a link. Thanks Josh for taking the time!!!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AF5Kped6gs8eGPUWVQ91Spjcqz4Fr8Hf/view?usp=share_link

Here's a slideshow on the Yurok Tribe and the Klamath River Renewal Corporation. A little background and some of their collaboration. I have a meeting tomorrow with Josh Chenowith whois working first hand on the dam removal, and I'm hoping to set up a meeting soon with Amy Cordalis, lead counsel for the Yurok Tribe.
