Welcome to the Winter edition of the Klamath River Newsletter. Wow, a lot has happened since we sent out the summer edition of the newsletter. At the same moment we clicked ‘send,’ the Klamath River Renewal Corporation made the official announcement that four dams had been completely removed, and the Klamath was flowing freely from Lake Euwana to the sea for the first time in over a century. It was a historic moment, and we’re honored to support the people and organizations who not only made that possible but will carry the restoration and renewal efforts into the future.
Since then, we’ve been busy, traveling throughout the basin, building and deepening relationships, and spending time listening to leaders. We were honored to support a number of organizations with over $650,000 in grants.
This month, we are excited to launch the Klamath Philanthropic Funder Collaborative as we continue to invite additional funders to join us in supporting the health and healing of the Klamath Basin.
Finally, don’t miss our new regular column, News from the Basin, where you’ll find some great articles, podcasts, and book recommendations that will help you get the full story on the inspiring history of dam removal.
As always, we are deeply grateful for your continued support.
With appreciation,
Gina Zottola
Vice President
