… The Mid Klamath Watershed Council conducts generational work. The mine tailings they restore to salmon habitat are from multiple generations ago. The full remediation of those tailings, and a return to a healthy fishery, might not take hold fully until generations from now. The glaciers in the area — if having glaciers in greater Humboldt is news to you, it was news to me too — that have been there for generations may not last another, but the climate MKWC plans for, one without glaciers, will be there for many years. All of this region is historically abundant, and it has every ability to continue to be that, but it will be different in the future.
