Overview
This grant will support communications for the Open Rivers Fund, a 10-year fund aimed at restoring the ecological integrity of rivers and making communities healthier and safer through the removal of aged and obsolete dams. The grant will support long-term communications planning and videography for the Open Rivers Fund. This communications work will aid local community efforts to remove dams and advance public education, storytelling, and outreach around the Fund’s pilot projects. The pilot dam removals of the Open Rivers Fund will provide major public benefits to communities in California, Oregon, and Washington, and help preserve local waterways and wildlife in those areas for future generations.
