In this episode we look to another river to see if there is anything it can tell us about what the future may hold for the Klamath. The Elwha River, located in the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington state, previously held the title of largest dam removal. It's been over a decade now since the Elwha's two hydroelectric dams were dismantled and so much has changed for the river, the animals, and the people. The Elwha and the Klamath are very different rivers, but in this episode we explore the Elwha's recovery to consider the possibilities for the Klamath. And we also consider what it means to have a connected river system, one that is not just free of dams but one that is holistically cared for.
It may be the last episode, but it's really just the beginning.
