Beavers (and salmon) are climate changers.
"[Beavers] not only drench certain landscapes in cold water but also help cool the air. They even make forests and grasslands less likely to burn.
This is especially important right now."

Unfortunately @ReddingNewsFeed couldn’t find an accurate photo. No salmon fry we’re dumped into the water. The introduction took the form of fertilized eggs being carefully introduced to an incubation barrel by young Indigenous children. Ask us next time!

This is a historic moment. Thank you to @ChiefCaleenSisk and the @winnememwintu for all your prayers on the @Run4Salmon that made this first step possible redding.com/story/news/2022/…
The second day of paddling down the Sacramento River. The paddlers day they’ve encountered some shallow water that has slowed them down a bit.

#CAWater
The first day on the Sacramento River, paddling in water released from Shasta dam from the Sacramento, McCloud and Pit rivers, as well as water taken from the Trinity River, which is piped through a tunnel through a mountain and dumped below the dam, into a different watershed.
Leon takes a turn in the run to the Confluence of Sacramento River and Cow Creek. We pray that retuning salmon will turn here to access a volitional swimway proposed by Chief Sisk as the best way to swim in and out of Shasta reservoir and McCloud River.

"This is history for California," @ChiefCaleenSisk said. "It's a glimmer of hope."
After 80 years, endangered winter-run Chinook salmon are about to swim in the McCloud River once again. latimes.com/california/story… @winnememwintu @Run4Salmon
The traditional dugout leads the Run4Salmon paddlers along the desolate landscape of Shasta Reservoir. They’re heading up the inlet which would be the end point of the salmon swimway that the Winnemem are proposing as the only viable means to help the fish get around Shasta Dam.
The introduction of salmon eggs to the McCloud River is an historic collaboration of an Indigenous tribe and federal and state agencies.
Please support the Winnemem plan to bring their salmon relative home from New Zealand.
