From the Ground Up: Managing the Salmon River Basin

The biologically diverse and scenic Salmon River in the Klamath National Forest in Northern California has long struggled with the effects of logging and mining. This video illustrates how the USDA Forest Service and local communities work together to manage this key watershed by restoring water quality and habitat for endangered salmon, eliminating roads, and mitigating erosion.
