π The is now flowing FREELY for the first time in a century!
π§ This is the world's LARGEST dam removal!
π§ I am crying tears of joy.
𦦠I spent 7 years on the board of directors at Environmental Protection Information Center: EPIC.
βοΈ We fought hard alongside dozens of other stakeholders like the Klamath Tribe, Yurok Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, Oregon Wild, WaterWatch, Trout Unlimited, Salmon River Restoration Council, American Rivers, and many more.
π We went up against the likes of Berkshire Hathaway & VP Dick Cheney! πͺ But we WON!
π This is a testament to the relentless, persevering strength of people from all walks of life coming together over decades to fight against powerful greedy interests in the name of MOTHER EARTH.
