Klamath River Restoration

Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group (R2R) is a California-based non-profit, fiscally sponsored by the Resources Legacy Fund, that advocates for Native American tribes in natural and cultural resource matters. Confluence funding will enable them to continue their work to see the largest dam removal and restoration project in US history through to completion. The project is located in the Klamath River Basin, which is home to the Yurok, Karuk, Klamath and Hoopa Valley Tribes, in present-day northwest California. R2R works in coordination with the Yurok Tribe in Klamath River dam removal and restoration efforts. The grant will support their communications needs, provide funding for staff travel to consult with federal agencies, as well as support their work with Klamath River Tribes to develop an action plan to acquire and manage lands that will no longer be submerged by reservoir waters.
