Overview
Sustainable Northwest works with rural communities in the Pacific Northwest to achieve economic development and environmental protection. This grant would support the organization's efforts to implement a landmark agreement to remove four dams. Implementation will open 300 miles of river for salmon recovery, ensure water supplies for ranchers and farmers, and increase community stability (tribal, fishing, and agricultural) in the Klamath Basin on the California-Oregon border. The goals of Sustainable Northwest include: (1) building local capacity to implement the Agreement, (2) increasing understanding of and support for implementation of the Agreement in Congress and the Obama administration, and (3) encouraging support for a new agreement that will provide additional water to farmers and ranchers in compensation for the water lost to them through dam removal.
