TL;DR Summary

The largest dam removal project in U.S. history is underway along the California-Oregon border, with the goal of restoring the Klamath River and its surrounding land to its natural state. Over the next decade, workers and Native American tribes will plant and monitor nearly 17 billion seeds to repopulate the area with native plants and create habitat for fish. The removal of four hydroelectric dams will open up more than 400 miles of river for threatened species. The project aims to reverse the ecological damage caused by the dams and restore the cultural and spiritual significance of the river to Native American tribes.
