The Elwha River has been getting a lot of press lately. It is the site of one of the largest dam removal projects to date. Salmon runs are returning in numbers (miles and miles of recovered salmon breeding habitat), the delta is being rebuilt and numerous species (including bears and birds) are benefiting from the decaying salmon carcasses.
The section shown here is between the two dams that were removed (the Elwha Dam below this point and the Glines Canyon Dam above).
That’s fantastic.
This is the kind of news we like to read more Allan 🙂 I feels so good to hear that some people get better insights in nature and make changes in favour of it. It’s not always money that is the most important in life….
Thanks for showing pictures of this recovery effort….Yay!
