The U.S. Department of the Interior has pulled more than $2 million in federal grants for restoration work in the Mid Klamath Basin. The $2.1 million would have funded seven projects along the Klamath River in Northern California. The Mid Klamath Watershed Council said the work included wildfire prevention, habitat restoration, and surveys of Chinook salmon. … The Interior Department told the council in late September that the grants no longer align with U.S. Fish and Wildlife priorities.
