California (and the entire western US) has nowhere near as many #beavers as it did 250 years ago. Even so, it only takes a few families of beavers tucked away in secluded canyons and valleys to give us a glimpse of what many of our waterways used to look like.

@CAgovernor calculates he can ignore conservation minded Californians (which are many) and the law, because DiFi told him so. We'll see. Old issue plagues Newsom's Delta tunnel project - CalMatters calmatters.org/commentary/202…

Bring Back the Beavers! latimes.com/opinion/story/…

A coalition of Stockton area social, economic & environmental justice groups sent a letter to the State Water Board backing a recent petition filed by Stanford Law on behalf of #CA Tribes & environmental justice groups #nodeltatunnel #cawater #savethedelta dailykos.com/story/2022/6/1…

This week SCS joined @winnememwintu & Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians for #run4salmon from the Knights Landing to the Shingle Springs Village at Verona where we meet @WiltonRancheria The run is now in #SanFrancisco Bay👇 run4salmon.org #landback #ClimateJustice

Beavers (and salmon) are climate changers.

Congrats @winnememwintu Tribe on the homecoming for endangered chinook salmon. The Shasta Dam prevented salmon movement for 80 years, but now there is hope. Joyful to see Indigenous children involved! #EarthOptimism #IndigenousScience #TEK @Run4Salmon buff.ly/3vugIgL

In #California Truth and Healing means #landback & bringing #salmonback by taking down dams and restoring rivers flows and water quality. We have had major wins efforts to bring salmon home to the Eel, Klamath, McCloud, and Sacramento Rivers #WaterBack #NativeAmericans #Climate

After 80 years, endangered winter-run Chinook are about to swim in the river once again! The Winnemem Wintu Tribe held a ceremony as the eggs arrived in a cooler. “This is history for California that we’ve done this,” said @ChiefCaleenSisk loom.ly/ZxGyEEY

In this week's episode of the Innovation Station Podcast, women innovators Beth Roach & Niria Alicia Garcia discuss the ways @ANSeedkeepers & @Run4Salmon are maintaining indigenous traditions related to seeds, salmon, & their creation stories. Tune in now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/18-…

On July 7 we premiered excerpts of A Prayer for Salmon on the North State Water Report on @kzfr901FM. Listen to the episode + be some of the first to hear a small part of our extended podcast series that is coming soon! @AliMeders @Run4Salmon kzfr.org/broadcasts/302… 📷: @tomlevy

Unfortunately @ReddingNewsFeed couldn’t find an accurate photo. No salmon fry we’re dumped into the water. The introduction took the form of fertilized eggs being carefully introduced to an incubation barrel by young Indigenous children. Ask us next time! youtu.be/Y0tgIlkQlkw

The second day of paddling down the Sacramento River. The paddlers day they’ve encountered some shallow water that has slowed them down a bit. #Run4Salmon #CAWater

The first day on the Sacramento River, paddling in water released from Shasta dam from the Sacramento, McCloud and Pit rivers, as well as water taken from the Trinity River, which is piped through a tunnel through a mountain and dumped below the dam, into a different watershed.

Leon takes a turn in the run to the Confluence of Sacramento River and Cow Creek. We pray that retuning salmon will turn here to access a volitional swimway proposed by Chief Sisk as the best way to swim in and out of Shasta reservoir and McCloud River. #Run4Salmon #CAWater

“(The children) are the future generations, and I wanted them to start to have that relationship with the salmon and to be there to greet them when they swim back up one day,” said @winnememwintu Hereditary Chief Caleen Sisk .shastascout.org/were-praying-t… @Run4Salmon @ndncollective
