Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

North America's smallest rabbit was reintroduced in Washington after years of effort to save this endangered species. A fire just decimated one of the reintroduced populations, but all hope is not lost - scientists put lots of thought into their future. hcne.ws/2KdJuLs

The Portland Tribune will probably never be the coolest kid on Twitter.
But we matter. Our work matters.
This week every employee lost 20% of their paycheck. It was that or layoffs.

The federal government just rejected the best plan we have to recover Pacific Northwest salmon populations. Scientists say taking down the 4 dams on the lower Snake River is the single largest step we can take for salmon recovery. ejus.tc/2wXNICz

Legislators shutting down the government by walking off the job is a crisis for our democracy.
This is not a game. Voters elected us to do our job. The members who refuse to show up and do their jobs are saying to a large majority of Oregonians: your vote doesn’t matter. #orpol
