Can beavers save the Klamath Marsh?
The Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge looks very different today than it did 35 years ago. About 45 miles north of Klamath Falls along the Williamson River, it’s natural waterways are limited. And over the last few decades it has spent more and more of the year in drought conditions with parts nearly or fully drying up. Alex Gonyaw, senior fisheries biologist for the Klamath Tribes, said these are the impacts of man-made calamities on the marsh that span more than 200 years.
