Klamath Indigenous Land Trust buys 10,000 acres along river
As salmon return to Klamath River headwaters for the first time in over a century, the newly formed Klamath Indigenous Land Trust announced the purchase of 10,000 acres in and around the former reservoir reach of the river. The move is one of the largest private land purchases by an Indigenous-led land trust in U.S. history, according to the announcement. … With the acquisition complete, the land trust’s next steps include developing comprehensive land management plans using input from area tribes, ensuring stewardship reflects both cultural values and ecological priorities, the announcement said. Those plans will address habitat recovery, cultural resource protection, fire management and public access considerations.
