After nearly five decades of advocacy, four dams are about to be demolished to help salmon, but they’re not the dams we’re usually talking about. These dams are on the Klamath River in Oregon and California.

The restoration project will help re-establish salmon habitat, improve water quality and result in the largest dam removal ever seen, anywhere. Rocky Barker joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this project.
