Show Notes

After 20 years Western Rivers Conservancy has ensured Blue Creek, the most important cold-water tributary to California’s Klamath River, is forever protected, from its headwaters in the Siskiyou Wilderness all the way to its confluence with the Klamath. The transfer of these lands to the Tribe also more than doubles the Tribe’s landholdings and safeguards the long-term health of this critical ecosystem. Jordan Pangelinan Reports
